GAME FLOW
LSU-Shreveport scored the first goal of the game in the 3rd minute. The Pilots would tack on a second goal in the 25th minute. The Scots, however, responded in the 30th minute with a goal by Joyce Barbosa (SR/Rio De Janeiro, Brazil). The Pilots then added two more goals from Carolina Martins-Gomes in the 34thand 38th minute. Lyon countered with a goal just before half in the 45th minute as Darby Blaylock (SR/Fairview TX) found Judith Flores (SR/Elmhurst, Ill.) to cut the score to 4-2.
The scoring would slow down in the second half as both defenses played very well. The lone goal of the second half would come from LSU-Shreveport's KJ Cunningham, her second of the game. The Scots would go on to outshoot the Pilots in the second half, but were unable to find the back of the net and would fall 5-2 in the opening game of the season.
