The Lady Apaches continue to fight through fatigue to continue pressuring Blackford and had several near misses. Sophomore Natalie Adams drew a penalty in the box that junior Rylee Yoakum put in the back of the net to make it 3-2. Senior Kalista Ballschmidt, Senior Ashley Province and Senior Linda Cordes did an amazing job holding the back line and junior Hannah Layne had another really strong night in goal with 13 saves.
