After an early Lady Eagles goal to start the game, GRC evened the score before halftime. A Ciana Araya goal from a Delaney Manning assist tied it up at 1-1 with five minutes to play.

The goal brought Araya to 15 for the season, tied for the third-most on the team.

However, Scott was able to find the net again before the teams headed to the locker room, taking a 2-1 lead into halftime.

Neither team was able to find another goal in the second half, leaving the score at 2-1 and sending the Cardinals back home with a loss.

GRC still sits atop the 10th Region standings and is set to play their last regular-season home game against Martin County on Saturday at 7 p.m.
