After many stops by the Dustdevils, Senior Chelsea Smith was able to slip through the defense to score the game winning goal for the Lady Patriots in the 88th minute as she ran down a well placed through ball played by Junior Kourtney Edwards and connected on a low driven shot.  With the 3-2 win the Lady Patriots improve to 3-8 for the season and 1-2 in conference play.
