Harding Academy led at the half, 8-1, but USN closed the gap, only allowing 3 goals in the second half, and adding 5 goals to tighten the margin. Getting off to a shaky start, the tigers adjusted defensively in the second half, and put higher pressure on Harding. On the attack, USN slowed it down, set up the offense, and were able to get better looks to goal.
Alli Jacobs played in goal and made 6 saves. Mary Puryear, Avery Sweet, and Maggie Robinson led the team on defense with 8 ground balls between them.
8th Grader Olivia Dossett led the tigers with 3 goals, 12 ground balls, and 1 interception.
8th grader Ella Steinhilber added a goal, 2 assists, 1 draw control, and 7 ground balls.
8th grader Amara Payne added a goal and 2 ground balls.
The tigers showed perseverance and determination to the final whistle.
