HOW IT HAPPENED 
17": Misericordia struck first and snagged the 1-0 lead 17 minutes into the start of the opening half. Sweitzer sent the Cougars' first goal in when she was outside of the left post and sent the ball into the lower right hand corner. 

20": Three minutes after the visitors put in their first goal, Emerson found themselves in a two-goal deficit. Brdaric, who was in the top of the box, booted her shot into the upper left hand corner past the reach of Schaub. 

80": With 10 minutes left in regulation time, an Emerson defender failed the clear the ball and misfired the pass into the lower left hand side of the goal as the Lions fell to within a three-goal margin. 

82": Two minutes later, Misericordia struck again with their fourth marker, which came off of a what became a costly Emerson foul. Beck took advantage of the free kick and sent her shot into the top left corner. 

-Emerson was able to register two shots in the final eight minutes of regulation, but both went wide as the final score sat at 4-0.
