The lone goal for Avila was scored beautifully by Alex Jung off a cross from Rachelle Luster in the 22 nd minute of the match. The Eagles tried their hardest to stretch the lead, but ended up having to fight to keep the one they had. Ottawa outshot the Eagles 27 to 7 and couldn't sneak one in until the last 2 minutes of regulation play.
