Today was a very special day for the team as the Esther Edwards, Taylor Endicott, Meghann Esquinaldo, Naomi Reed, and Mandi Shumate were all honored as seniors. The Rams had lost to the Hawks earlier in the year by a score of 3-0, but this game was a much different outcome as the two teams battled for 110 minutes. The score would remain the same as when the game started, 0-0. With the tie the Rams move to 5-6-3, while the Hawks move to 8-6-2.

In the thirty-fifth minute the Hawks had a golden opportunity to score the first goal of the game as they were awarded a penalty kick. The Hawks player stepped to the line, as she struck the ball Wammock was there to make a huge save and keep the game scoreless. The teams would go into the half scoreless. 

The second was an attacking half as each team was able to get numerous good looks on goal, but the goalies were huge for their teams tonight. No matter what came towards the goal the goalies were there to make the save. The Rams would have five shots in the half, but the teams would head to overtime.
