As time passed they push the counter-attack, attempting to get the ball over the top to Damery who kept herself on the hip of the last defender. Unable to get an attack on the other end, the Buc defense held strong until the 20^th minute when Feliciano found a gap in the Maritime defense and found the back of the net to put the Wildcats up 1-0. That 1-0 Bay Path advantage would remain the score for the final 70 minutes of the game as neither team was able to score on and of their chances.
