How It Happened
The Scarlet Hawks created the first attacking sequence, with
Eva Narvarte missing top right at :37,
Tvesa Vathulya adding a shot at 1:03 and a corner following at 1:08 before Calvin's Nora Kucinski hit the woodwork at 2:23. Aubree Lee kept the Scarlet Hawks off the board with saves on two Narvarte shots and another from Vathulya, and Calvin broke through at 27:00 when Ellery Boeving scored from Lexi Glowicki to make it 1-0. The Scarlet Hawks continued to get looks through
Leena Almeqbeli,
Emma Conway and
Olivia Roy, but Lee saved the latter two attempts before Maya Thebeau scored off Alexa Boersma's assist at 36:52.
Clara Estiandan stopped Mikaela Waroway's shot at 38:43, and the half closed with a Calvin corner and four fouls over the final minutes as Calvin took a 2-0 lead into halftime.
Vathulya put an early second-half shot wide in the 49th minute, and
Kayla Frassinelli twice forced saves from Calvin goalkeeper Aubree Lee as the Scarlet Hawks looked for a way back with Calvin ahead 2-0. The half turned more physical through the middle stretch, with the Scarlet Hawks called for four fouls and shown yellow cards to Narvarte and Conway between 49:59 and 63:03. Calvin then generated sustained pressure, earning four corner kicks and putting four shots on frame from 63:36 to 70:31, but Estiandan saved each attempt to keep the margin from growing. Neither side scored over the closing minutes, and Calvin finished off the 2-0 result.
