The Flashes got on the board first with a free kick from the top of the box. From there, the game was a battle back and forth. The Dragons had multiple chances on goal in the closing minutes but were unable to convert.

Sophomore defender Allie Blum earned the team’s hard hat award for her hustle throughout the game.

The Dragons are now 4-1 on the season and 1-0 in the HHC.
