Four minutes later, Carlborg put Wellesley on the board with her second goal in as many games this season when junior Kyla Petrie (Denton, Texas) earned possession of the ball inside the attacking half of the field, before lofting the ball in the direction of Carlborg. Carlborg settled the bouncing ball and chipped the ball high over Lesley goalkeeper Jackie Berard (Coventry, R.I.) and into the back of the net.

Berard played the opening 45 minutes in goal for the Lynx, making a pair of saves. Sophomore Lilly Donovan (Newburyport, Mass.) came on to play the second half and turned aside one Wellesley shot.
