The scoreboard reflects the play on the field after a mostly even first half.

The Irish took the upper hand early, in the fifth minute, as Kaleia Huttenlocher dribbled into the box and lifted a shot into the top, left corner for a 1-0 advantage.

The Bulldogs answered in the 11th minute, when Shelby Bauwens picked up the loose ball on her own blocked free kick and finished her second shot to tie things at 1.

The two sides traded waves of attacking pressure after that.
