TURNING POINT

The Huskies didn't take long to strike in the second half, scoring twice in the first seven minutes of the half to gain control and momentum of the game. First, sophomore forward Gabby Hofeld (St. Paul, Minn.) was able to clean up a rebound off a shot attempt from senior forward Ellie Primerano (Saint Joseph, Mich.) in the 50^th minute to get the Huskies on the scoreboard. SCSU found the back of the net again just two minutes later in the 52^nd minute when junior midfielder Grace Olson (West Des Moines, Iowa) sent a continuation free kick into the box and Primerano got a touch on it and over to junior midfielder Cady Compton (Ankeny, Iowa) to score the goal.

Junior forward Linsey Trapino (Verona, Wis.) tacked on the Huskies' third goal in the 78^th minute when she worked her way around a defender on the right side of the box and executed a beauty of a left-footed kick to beat the Viking goalkeeper.
