Ava Sautter netted the only goal of the game, finishing a beautiful assist from Elin Betten to give Manchester the lead. Olivia Stevens, Ana Hasund, Brooklyn Grimes, and Chase Blevins played a great game holding the defensive line and keeping the Tigers off the scoreboard for the full 80 minutes.
In the midfield, Allie Egolf and Elin Betten controlled the pace of play, winning key battles and distributing the ball effectively. On the outside, Jocelyn Young, Joanna Eberly, Ely Mobley, and McKayla Dillion worked well creating space and pushing the attack forward.

The Lady Squires’ collective effort and strong defensive performance sealed the shutout victory.
