In the 24th minute the Roos had another golden chance to score as Terrance made some nifty moves to get her defender turned around and fired a shot that was saved by Bullock. Two minutes later Terrance would get redemption as she received a pass from Katlyn Hart (Harrisville, NY) and played a perfect shot into the top left corner just under the cross bar to give the hosts a 2-0 lead.
The opportunities continued to build up for the Roos 10 minutes later when Hart struck a ball off the left goal post that was cleared by the defense. Five minutes later
Karley Cree (Hogansburg, NY) took a corner kick from the left side and spun the ball in toward goal where it clanged off the middle of the cross bar.

Tressa Goolden (Canton, NY) fed Hart in on a breakaway and she calmly shot the ball off the inside of the right post for the 3-0 lead.
SUNY Canton controlled play throughout as numerous other chances just missed. Hart had several opportunities to score but McCullock was up to the task stopping her shot attempts.
