Midway through the second period, the Lions got on the board with a goal by Chloe Froese, who was assisted by Ella Van Doren.
Just a minute later, the Lions struck again as Chayse McGirt set up Ilaria Miclet for the goal on a corner kick, narrowing the score to 3-2.
The Tars responded when Alice Tesser (‘26) scored off a corner kick assisted by Emma Griner (‘28), extending the lead to 4-2, which held until the final whistle.
The Tars out-shot the Lions 14 to 8, including eleven shots on goal to the Lions’ four.
