The Generals broke through with a penalty kick from junior midfielder Annie Moynihan in the 47th minute. The Generals earned the PK when junior midfielder Georgia Wislon drove into the box at speed. The Lynnfield defender had no chance, but to take her down to stop the attack. In the 65th minute, sophomore midfielder Savannah Gauron finished a shot in the penalty box off an assist from Wilson. Senior goalie Stewart Bernard earned her third shutout on her 18th birthday with 6 saves.

Defenders seniors Leah Coffey and Claire Veenema, junior Maddy Wood, and sophomore Evie Bernard slowed down the Lynnfield offense who had scored plenty of goals already this season.
