The Terriers were psyched up and confident they could protect their home turf at Bob Patterson Stadium.

But Raven Stovall is too quick on her feet, and she makes a key save on the shot.
The first half ends in a scoreless tie.
Salem's Ariel Thompson, will later feed Elizabeth Kier. She will shoot for the net, but also gets stonewalled by Byrd goalie Mandi (PEA-UH-CHECK). And it's still 0-0 in the second.
