“Both teams played hard the entire game during cold and windy conditions,” Lake Placid’s head coach Heather Brewer said in a statement. “The Willsboro defense made it very difficult for us to get off good shots, but we were able to break through at times due to the strong play of Anisa Cecunjanin in the midfield. We did a good job possessing the ball in the second half.”

Cecunjanin got the the ball rolling for the Blue Bombers when she buried Moodey’s pass at 24:05 in the first half.

After the intermission, Fitzsimmons added her goal — also on an assist from Moodey — at 14:25 to give her team a 2-0 lead. Levitt then connected on her 11th goal this season on a pass from Cecunjanin.
