The Lady Devils had their chances at goal, creating 10 shots, led by Emma Hicklin’s three. Rebecca Lord, Katherine Hammond and Mollie Roberts each had two shots.

Allen went down by two goals less than 10 minutes into the game as Neosho came out of the gates at full steam. 

It took all of 25 seconds for Neosho to get on the board. Dylan Roberts took a pass from Darwin Leiva on the right side of the net that he buried for the early 1-0 difference. 

Seven minutes later, Neosho’s Roberts again found the back of the net for the 2-0 score.

Neosho’s Warren Sung scored off an assist from Leiva 12 minutes into the second half for the 3-1 Panther lead. 

Alouidor led the way for Allen offensively with three shots on goal and four shots total. Pedro De Silva went for two shots on goal and three shots total while Diego Coronado had one shot on goal and two shots total.
