McGuire made 11 saves in the first half as Montclair put forth 14 in the first 35 minutes of the contest. She made three in the first six minutes and then got help from Kayla Rose, who made a defensive save on a shot by Haslett at the 7:15 mark.
 
The Thoroughbreds pushed the ball back the other way and got the game's first goal. Emily Richmond picked up a loose ball in the circle on the left side and fired across inside the right post for her first of the season and a 1-0 lead.
