As an underdog, if you get chances to take the lead on a favored team, you generally need to convert those opportunities. In their match at University Heights Academy, the Lyon County Lady Lyons had a couple of chances early on to take the lead on the Lady Blazers and could not get the ball to find the net.
The best of those chances came when Alice Smith found an opening and sent a rocket shot towards the goal. It deflected off the crossbar and with that deflection also went the Lady Lyons to set the Lady Blazers back on their heels.
UHA got two goals each from Kendall Hancock and Audrey Perry as the Lady Blazers picked up a 6-0 win over the Lady Lyons at Givens Field. The win was the fifth straight shutout for the Lady Blazers.

Audrey Perry scored off an assist from Alyssa Grise at the 21:00 to give UHA a 1-0 lead. Six minutes later it was Kendall Hancock scoring off an assist from Skyler Cantrell to extend the lead to 2-0. That would also be the score at the break.
