Junior midfielder Maisa Badawy left the game midway through the second half after she was struck in the mouth with a loose ball. Although she sustained a deep cut on the inside of her lip, she returned with about 10 minutes remaining...
Nwokocha found nothing but daylight until he sidestepped a safety then picked up a block by Patterson at the 10-yard line that allowed him to cut back into the end zone--a stunning 41-yard gain with just 45 seconds remaining in the half...
