The Tigers claimed their first district win with a solid 4-2 victory over PCA. Jones '25 opened the scoring with a powerful shot from outside the box, giving USN an early lead. Building on that momentum, Dawkins '28 doubled the lead with a well-placed finish, assisted by Rudolph '26. PCA responded with a goal to make it 2-1. Later, thanks to an assist by Choe ‘28, Crane '27 extended the Tigers' advantage with a goal, making it 3-1. A handball in the PCA box gave Crane '27 the chance to score her second of the night from the penalty spot, putting USN ahead 4-1. Despite a late goal from PCA, USN's defense, led by strong saves from Chomsky '25 and a resilient back line, ensured a 4-2 victory. A great all-around team effort secured the Tigers' first district win of the season!
