Wilmington scored two goals in the first half of the game.

The Wildcats came out firing in the early minutes of this game, as Bloomfield’s goalkeeper would stop three of the shots, but a couple minutes the scoreboard would change in their favor.

The scoring play happened around the 20-minute mark when Manuela Restrepo from the back line kicked the ball over defenders to a wide-open Julia Yuhase, who darted near the goal and blasted a low shot past the Bears goalkeeper to give Wilmington a 1-0 lead.

Thirteen minutes later, the Wildcats would find the net once again, as Anna Ljuljic from the logo in midfield would find a charging Alicia Whyte, who bounced around the goalie and would get an easy score to put WilmU up 2-0.
