Young got the scoring started nearly two minutes into the match on Tuesday as she took a pass from Kasper and scored from seven yards out. 

Kasper gave the Gorloks a 2-0 lead early in the 21st minute as she connected on a shot from five yards out off an assist from sophomore midfielder Jordan Bilyeu (St. Louis, Mo./Lindbergh).
