The Sharks got on the board first on a
Rebecca Barb (So., Woodbury, N.J) goal in the 12th minute of the match. Barb received a ball from over the top from
Alexandra Siciliano (Sr., New Hyde Park, N.Y.). Barb then dribbled around three Tars defenders and slotted the ball into the bottom left corner from the center of the box. The goal was Barb's first of her collegiate career and the first goal for the Sharks in over three matches.
