Eastern broke the tie early in the second half after Emmy Williams found the back of the net in the 46th minute , assisted by Erika Skindlov. The Royals did not go away and a late 87th minute goal by Hope’s Christiane Sundstrom tied the match up at one. After 90 minutes of play, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
