September 16, 2018
Montevallo, Alabama (Georgine Lemak Soccer Field)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
13' | Sophomore Kira Bochard gave the Falcons an early 1-0 lead with her high kick as she planted a shot into the upper right corner of the net directly off a corner kick from junior Madison Madewell.

29' | The Blazers tied the match at 1-1 when Ashley Lewis scored off a direct attempt at the net on a free kick from just outside the box.

31' | Valdosta State benefitted from the strongest gust of wind during the game when a corner kick by Carley Montgomery curved its way into the back corner of the net, without another touch, just beyond the outstretched arms of Montevallo goalkeeper Judith Perez-Bayon to give the Blazers a 2-1 lead.
