As the game started the light rain became heavier making the field difficult. The first 20 minutes was cut and thrust with little advantage gained by either side. With about 15 minutes to go Mauldin began to gain the initiative, this resulted in freshman, Emily Praktish, scoring with well placed shot from the edge of the penalty area. Mauldin continued to press and a few minutes later from a corner, Lauren Young hit a hard shot, which a defender tried to head wide, but instead rocketed the ball into the net. Shortly afterwards the Dorman goalie went full length on the edge of the goal area to save a shot, which rebounded to the edge of the penalty area, in the resulting fracas, Mauldin's Gracie Boswell, emerged with the ball and stroked a shot over the advancing goalie and into the underside of the net. The halftime score was 3-0 for Mauldin.
Dorman came out fired-up in the second half with more attacking players. Several anxious minutes elapsed for Mauldin as Dorman pressed their attack, with Mauldin defense unable to clear the ball. The Dorman pressure paid off with a nice goal from a shot from inside the area. Mauldin gradually regained the initiative and the forwards began splitting the Dorman three man back line with some penetrating passes, resulting in a nice run by Emily Praktish, who dribbled past two defenders and with the Dorman goalie rooted on the goal line shot an unstoppable ball from the corner of the penalty area into the far side of the goal.
