Franklin County got on the board in the 6th minute with a goal to take a 1 nil lead into the half. The Lady Raiders, though outshooting the Rebelettes, could not get on the board until the 67th minute. Kyleigh Harner scored on a pass from Anna Amado to draw even with Franklin County. Coffee County got the game winning goal from Jenna Garretson in the 75th minute as she scored on a header after a Franklin County could not clear a Lady Raider corner kick. The Lady Raider defense shut down Franklin County in the 2nd half as they held them without a shot in the final 10 minutes.
