The Bluejackets jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 16^thminute when Marioma Garcia Dalmases fired a shot past Crookston goalkeeper Kylee Meier giving the Pirates a 1-0 lead. 25 minutes into the match when Sydney Jolowsky scored doubling the Bluejackets’ lead to 2-0. Crookston was unable to generate many offensive chances in the first half and failed to score a goal taking a 2-0 deficit into halftime, with Kylee Meier registering five saves in net for the Pirates. “Kylee played great in net,” said Crookston head coach Sarah Reese.
The Pirates pulled within a goal of their opponents seven minutes into the second half when Elise Erdman sent a cross into the box towards the near post that Mackenze Epema fired through traffic and into the net for a Crookston goal cutting the deficit to 2-1. The Bluejackets countered with a third and final goal three minutes later when Sydney Jolowsky scored in the 50^thminute giving Hibbing-Chisholm a 3-1 lead. Reese Swanson was active in net in the second half for the Pirates making fourteen saves to keep Crookston in the match, but the Pirates were unable to score a second goal falling 3-1. “Reese was dynamite in goal,” said Reese. “We switched the lineup and garnered more offensive options moving Hannah Emanuel to center midfield, Keona Arnold shifting up to forward and Olivia Huck sliding to outside defense.”
