To start of the second half West Virginia came out aggressive and scored a goal within the first two minutes. “she smacked it and the kid hit a good one in the back post” Head Coach Tom Stone said.
In the 63rd minute Tech was hit hard with a foul in the box and costing them a penalty kick which put Tech down 2-0. “of course, the penalty put it away” Stone said.
