After finally having all of the international players back from the Olympics, the Blues came from behind to take all three points. The game began with a surprising face sitting on the bench. Midfielder Erika Tymrak who is a usual starter, was left on the bench in favor of forward Caroline Kastor. Sky Blue FC won an early corner kick that was collected by Nicole Barnhart. Defender Yael Averbuch sent a great freekick around the wall and directly into the arms of Sky Blue's goalkeeper, Caroline Stanley in the 6th minute. The first half was a battle of the goalkeepers with save after save by both keepers until the 40th minute when forward Sam Kerr made a great shot into the top corner of the net that was unreadable by Barnhart.
