How it Happened
The scoring started in the 2^nd minute of the match as Mallory Beach sent a missile over the Battler keeper with her left foot from 20 yards out. This would be Beach's first career goal for the Golden Eagles, but one goal wasn't enough for the Ohio native. In the 20^th minute of play, Beach used her right foot this time for another long-distance shot that found the Battler net to put Charleston up 2-0. 
 
The third goal of the match came in the 37^th minute of play. Anna Gregor lined up for a corner kick and played a curling lob into the box that found Kate Eddy's forehead, putting the Golden Eagles up 3-0 as they strutted into the locker room. 
 
In the second half, Alderson Broaddus would score on a Diana Forero penalty kick in the 65^th minute, but Charleston would answer back right away. The awareness and execution on the pass from Kaitlyn Gauze was textbook, and Katy O'Reilly took the liberty of finishing the play as she sent a close-range shot into the upper left net to put Charleston up 4-1. 
 
The last two goals of the match would come from Sydney Cavender in the final eight minutes of the match. The first would come from a close-range shot on the assist from Rachel Osborne and her second coming off the assist from Katy O'Reilly. This would be the final score of the match as the Golden Eagles found themselves with the 6-1 win.
