Pothitakis' second goal at the start of the second half after Boeding shot a 35-yard pass across the pitch where Pothitakis headed the ball in from 15 yards out into the top corner of the net.

Elyse Pothitakis got into the action on the Crusaders' final goal in the shut out when slid a pass over to her sister who slipped it past into the bottom right corner to set the final score.

Sheerin said the Bulldogs are a much improved team with some stingy defense.

Ashlyn Haas, Maille Sheerin, and Emily Box kept the Bulldogs offense in check and senior Eryn Anderson kept the ball moving through the middle. Elle Rashid and Boeding each had shots on goal

HTC keeper Sam Pothitakis earned the shut out with just one save to make on the day.
