  • Anderson cut the Hawks' lead in half when a powerful shot found the back of the net. The goal, Anderson's fifth of the season, was unassisted and came in the 42nd minute.
  • Anderson evened the score late in the game when she got the ball from Jakich-Kunze and snuck past the defense to bury the ball in the lower right corner. Prior to the goal, a flurry of opportunities had sparked the Penmen to tie the game with less than eight minutes remaining.
