MC controlled the first half, outshooting Union 13-3, but couldn't find the back of the back of the net as the squads went into the half tied 0-0.

Union struck first early in the 2nd half as Hannah Patterson scored on a free kick in the 48th minute to put Union up 1-0.

MC continued to control the action, but it wasn't until the final 15 minutes when MC found the equalizer. It was Avery Hederman who drew MC even as she once again scored directly off a corner kick in the 76th minute to make it 1-1. She curled the ball in and it got across the line before the Bulldog keeper could save it. The goal marks Hederman's 4th of the season and her 2nd directly off a corner.
