Down by the three, the Riverhawks elevated their offensive push further – outshooting Essex 12-7 in the second half, yet still struggled to find the net as Essex goalkeeper tallied an impressive 9 saves for the day.
A hard shot following the momentum of an aggressive play up the middle, Gabriell Keogh (Gambrills, MD/Arundel) was able to finally get the Riverhawks on the board late in the second half, cutting the four point lead down to three.
Despite Madeline Stevenson (Severn, MD/Archbishop Spalding) recording 6 shots and Randal Graham (Bowie, MD/Bowie) tallying 7 – the Riverhawks would finish the match with Keogh's lone goal.
