HOW IT HAPPENED

With 16 minutes remaining, the Saints found themselves up two, 4-2, before Sarr found the back of the net for her second goal of the game on a free position shot. Emmanuel would go into halftime with a 5-3 lead after Lindsay Curry scored the final goal of the half at the 3:56 mark.

Similar to the first, Emmanuel opened the half with two straight goals to extend its lead to four, 7-3 before Nikki Kern (Wallingford, Conn.) scored the Falcons' fourth goal of the game on a free position at the 18:56 mark.
