The Wolverines managed to out shine the Redhawks in defense throughout the whole game as keeper Jessica Duffin took a peppering.

The Redhawks tied the game in the 47th minute after a ball bounced around near the box and found Taylor Ritzman’s foot. In all the jumble of feet and ricocheting ball it was SU’s Madaline Racine who managed to pass the ball to teammate Ritzman in order for the redirection and subsequent goal.
