Wellsboro countered with their lone goal two minutes later as sophomore Jena Boyce scored off an assist by senior Emma Poirier to tie it at 1-1.

The score remained tied until 6:46 left in the opening half when Gabby Randall scored on a header off another Klovekorn corner.

The Lady Redskins then held on the rest of the way for the 2-1 win.
