Trinh and Frary answered with goals during the closing minutes of the first half, and the Bishop defense took over from there, allowing the Tigers only 2 shots and forcing 16 turnovers during the second half.

Egan led the Bishops with 6 goals, while Frary had 3 goals and an assist and Trinh contributed 2 goals and an assist.  Sophomore Abby Markowitz (Las Vegas, Nev./Somerset Academy) made 4 saves during the first 3 quarters and freshman Cadence Jobe blanked the Tigers during the fourth quarter.
