The Trojans (0-5-0) got on the board in the 56^th minute, when Paige Mason fielded a pass from Ariel Galletti and put it in from five yards out. The Bears responded quickly, however, when Brooke Ballard knocked home the ball off of a Vanessa Randall corner kick in the 61^st minute for the game’s final goal.
