In the day’s earlier game the Panthers came from a goal down to beat the Avengers 2-1.
Kelienne Smith opened the scoring in the 12th minute, taking advantage of defensive hesitation to burst through and fire home from long range past Decima Lambert. The equalizer came early in the second half when Marie Lumley charged down a Brittany Peters clearance and got the luck of the bounce as the ball rebounded into the empty Ballstarz net. An own goal by Gloria Fahie secured all three points for the Panthers ten minutes later as she deflected in a shot by “CJ” Jackson.
