From there, the floodgates opened as
ABBY JUDGE connected for her first career goal not even two minutes later. However, the Lions were not finished with the first-half onslaught as
GABBIE HAYES rebounded her own shot and found the back of the net in the 41st minute. Hayes now is tied for the team lead with five goals on the season.
