Daytona State would hit a new gear in the second half and continued to put the pressure on the Titans the entire half.

"Late in the second half we needed to push to get a goal, after we thought we had one on a set piece where the Titan goalkeeper caught the ball and turned into her goal with the ball, unfortunately the call did not go our way, so we continued to push. I threw a lot of attacking numbers forward in the last 15 minutes and when you do this you run the risk of giving up a goal on the counter, which we did", said Head Coach, Hope Clark. "I am proud of how the ladies finished the match, we strive to always finish strong, and they did that, battling the second half and stepping up their game."
