What Happened:

- With less than 20 minutes remaining in the first half, Katerina Davis spun behind a pair of Bantam defenders and launched a long pass to Coletti, who had a step on the Trinity defensive line and tucked a shot past Tamborello one-on-one, extending the Amherst lead to 2-0.
- The Bantams looked to get on the board late in the first half with shots from Sophia Simmons and Kyra Charette, but Amherst keeper Corina Bellermann stopped both attempts to maintain a 2-0 lead at the break.
