The Lions struck quickly with a goal in the third minute. Jessica Smith sent a corner kick into the box, which was headed past the keeper by Brittany Bowman for the score.

Mount St. Joseph added an insurance goal in the 82th minute. Macie Smith carried the ball from the midfield, beat the Pioneer keeper who was charging out to challenge and calmly sent the ball into the open net.

Freshman Kaitlyn Pearse (Galena/Olentangy Orange) made two saves and allowed one goal in the first half, while sophomore Kelly Sommers (Shaker Heights/Shaker Heights) made four saves and allowed the other goal in the second half.

Following the game, defenders MacKenzie Boyles (Fairmont, W.Va./East) and Holly Simms (Pickerington/North) were named to the All-Tournament Team.
