“I think that was a big goal of ours heading into the game, we knew we hadn’t had the offensive production that we wanted the whole tournament, only scoring two goals up to this,” said Savannah McCaskill, who scored in the 60th minute. “So the past few days we’ve been working with each other to get each other’s movements down, and we just really wanted to come out and put some balls in the back of the net.
St. Georges got past Sheridan early, finding her out of place with a shot to the far post in the eighth minute. It was the first professional goal for the native of St-Felix-de-Valois, Que. Some three minutes later Hill, who was traded to Chicago from the Orlando Pride in the off-season, scored.
