The Trailblazers bolted out to a quick 2-0 lead as Barbolla found
the back of the net in the 17th minute after dribbling through the
Blazers defense, and then again four minutes later when she scored
on a rebound.
MCLA struck again at the 52:04 mark when Lauren Ford

a defender and placed the ball in the top left corner of the net.
The goal tied the career goals record at MCLA and capped the

each.
