The Blue and White dominated the first half of play, leading the shot totals 11-5 and controlling most of the possession. The Chanticleers got on the board first in the 19th minute when Hannah Miller scored her third goal of the season, walking into the 18 and scoring center of the frame. Late in the first half the Chants were able to double their lead when Elisabeth Rockhill scored her second goal of the year, beating the keeper far post. 

Jocelyn Springer added five saves to her total on the season bringing her closer to cracking the all-time single season saves list. Brogan Boudreaux took eight shots on the night, with three of those being on goal. All seven of the seniors started on their senior night and will return for one final match on Sunday against Louisiana.

WHAT HEAD COACH BRIAN DUNLEAVY SAID
"Another great team performance, and wrong side of the result. We were better in possession, creating chances, but we just couldn't finish. Fair credit to Coastal, a very good team, they had three shots on goal in the first half and finished two of them. We took 11 shots in the first half and 17 overall, clearly we've got to do better with our chances. Our players do everything right in the buildup play, we move the ball so effortlessly, and it's beautiful to watch. We need to be efficient though, it's a tough pill to swallow when you're outplaying the 2nd place team and they score against the run of play. Now we've got to continue all the positive things we're doing and reward ourselves with the goals we deserve."
