• Final Score: Carroll Lynx 2  – Frederick Cougars 1
• Records: Carroll 3-4-1  |  Frederick 1-5
• Location: Westminster, MD – Carroll Community College
• The Short Story: The Carroll Lynx saw huge contributions from the O'Donnell sisters as the Lynx won a second consecutive game at home.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• With starting goalkeeper Chloe Herpel injured, Brenna Murphy was deputized to play between the goal posts as her spectacular defense held the Frederick Cougars to limited shots throughout the game.
• Emma O'Donnell nearly scored in the 23rd minute on a shot that went just high, but was able to intercept the ensuing goal kick as she found her sister Lana O'Donnell in the middle of the box for a brilliant strike into the top right corner of the net to give Carroll the early lead.
• Lana O'Donnell would make it two for the game in the 52nd minute as she stole the ball away from the Cougars defense and powered a shot into the bottom left corner of the net
• Haley Greenwade had a shot miraculously saved by the goalkeeper midway through the second half while O'Donnell nearly made it a hat trick with a shot off a Talula Castanzo corner kick that went just over the cross bar.
• Frederick would score a consolation goal late in the second half thanks to a fortuitous bounce, but the Lynx held on to secure the victory.
