Later, the Grims would try to even slate after Abbey Keyes took a shot through traffic off the corner, but Mazo made a diving save to keep her team's lead intact with under 12 minutes to go in the half.

The Pride went on to try and make it a three goal advantge, firing off four shots on target in the final six minutes, but the Grim's keeper and crossbar would save them from further damage, sending the game into the the break with the Pride up, 2-0.
