A right-side rush by the Eagles led to a shot by Von Huelson that went wide left.

UNH started the second quarter hot, but the visitors stood strong and then ended the half with a flurry of corners.

3^rd QUARTER

In the opening minute of the second half, Bailey Fanikos (Lynnfield, Mass.) blasted a long shot from the top-left. Dwyer made the save, but continued pressure led to a UNH corner.
