How It Happened
The Dukes grabbed the lead in the 11th minute when Maya Matesa finished unassisted inside the box. Richmond kept the deficit at one through halftime, thanks in part to seven first-half saves from Spider keeper Veronica Rrapi.

The Spiders generated their best look late in the match when Anna Garcia forced Ali Hughes into a save in the 87th minute, but the Dukes put the game out of reach moments later as Killinger added an unassisted strike in the 83rd minute to secure the 3-0 result.
