HOW IT HAPPENED
• After a scoreless first half, the Auggies took the lead in the 69th minute, as Rosebur gained the ball near midfield, worked her way up the left wing, and fired a shot from the end line that deflected off the Macalester goalkeeper and into the net for her first goal of the season.
