The Ravens would have a chance coming out of halftime, with a shot by Kaitlyn Miller (Sunman, Ind./East Central), but the Grizzlies goalkeeper was able to make the save. In the 61st minute, Haines once again found the back of the net, improving the Grizzlies score to 2-0 over the Ravens. A couple more chances came and went for the Ravens as they struggled to get past the Grizzlies defense.
