• The Gothics Knights answered the Pioneers goal at the 23:14 mark as a good pass from the right corner of their offensive zone set up a shot that hit the top right corner of the net to tie the game 1-1.
• The game winning goal was scored at the 53:40 mark as a well-placed free kick by junior back Kayla Miller (Hawthorne, N.J./Hawthorne) allowed Fernandez to head the ball into the net right in front of the Jersey City goalkeeper to give WP the 2-1 advantage and eventually the win.
