Up 2-1 early in the second half, Vanderbilt again forced pressure and drew a pivotal penalty kick. Olivia Simmons’ long throw into the box from the right sideline was intended for Haley Hopkins – but Hopkins was bowled over to give Vanderbilt a penalty kick. Stepping up to take the penalty in the 58th minute, Kimya Raietparvar stepped to the spot and calmly put her shot into the lower left corner of the net to score her first-career goal and make it 3-1.

 

In the 72nd minute, Vandy keeper Sarah Fuller sent a long ball from the defending side of midfield toward goal. Reagan Kelley craftily tracked it down and toe-tapped a right-footed shot into goal making it 4-1.
