After tying 0-0 in the regular season, the battle between the two was very similar in post season play. The only difference was a single goal, scored on a penalty kick in the 26th minute. Teah Lorenzi earned the PK as her cross into the box was batted down by a General hand. That brought senior Marli Hayward to the dot, where she calmly slotted it by the Washington and Lee netminder.
A close game, the Marlins and Generals matched eachother in shots (10-10), while the Marlins had a slight edge in shots-on-target (5-3). Amruta Karkare tallied all 90 minutes in goal for Virginia Wesleyan, turning aside each of the three hots she faced.
