Second Half
The Hogs scored two goals in three minutes to open the second half. In the 58th minute of play, a foul committed by Bulldog midfielder Millie Filson set up a free kick for defender Emilee Hauser. Hauser sent the ball into the 18-yard box where Dulaney missed the initial header but cleaned it up with a powerful shot into the upper right corner of the net.
