At the 7:59 mark in the first half, Bäck got UD on the board by capitalizing off a deflected shot from sophomore Colleen Gibson to earn her ninth goal of the season.

Then with 28 seconds left in the first half, Leslie capitalized on a side volley from 10-yards out off another rebound for her second goal of the year to put the Flyers ahead 2-0.

That would be enough for Reed who made two saves in the first half and four in the second. In the second half, the veteran goalkeeper made two spectacular saves, one through traffic minutes into the frame and another stop off a breakaway with 18:11 remaining in regulation.
