How it Happened
- The Warhawks wasted no time in getting on the scoreboard to start the game. AUM was awarded a corner kick that was eventually cleared by the Chargers, but the team could not get the ball out of the zone as Mendez found herself alone in front of the keeper and beat her to the right side for her 7^th goal of the year.  
- AUM would remain on the attack for the next segment of the game and came close to extending their lead to two in the 16^' minute when Mendez pushed a shot just wide of the target. UAH would march down the field as Colvin found the back of the net for the first time in the 22' minute to tie the game at one.   
- The Orange & Black would have a couple more chances before the half to take the lead with the most notable chance coming on a free kick taken by Mendez. The senior forward took a shot from 10 yards outside the box, but her curled shot hit the upper right crossbar.      
- Mendez would lead the charge for AUM right out of the gate in the second half. The ball was played to the feet of the San Jose native as she was in all alone with the keeper but shot the ball too far to the right, and the game remained at 1-1.    
- Alabama Huntsville would take the lead in bizarre fashion as a ball was played into the box by Marissa Miltko and was put away off of Colvin's elbow and into the back of the net to give UAH a 2-1 lead.    
- The remainder of the game was filled with intrigue and drama as in the 73' minute, Mayson Jaindl had a breakaway chance, but her shot was met by the hands of the UAH keeper. Immediately after the save, the ball was pushed upfield to Burd Annie, who then played it to Melanie Brannon, who slotted the ball past Dejon Fletcher to give the Chargers the deciding 3-1 score.
