Pratt earned another penalty kick in the 69^th minute, but this time Liz Pomaro (Farmingville, NY) made the save.  The Cannoneers would eventually add a third goal in the 82^nd minute, as Thomsen completed her hat trick.

Pomaro (0-2-0) ended up with three saves in the losing effort, while Pratt's Gaspari (1-0-0) was also credited with three saves.  Thomsen scored all three of the Cannoneers' goals in the contest.
