The Kickbacks  demonstrated strong organization through the midfield and their patient passing to their speedy and strong forward line broke through the Jaguars defense early putting 6 goals up in the first half.  The Kickbacks defensive line and fabulous goalie, Autumn Scanlon kept the Jaguars off the board until halfway through the second half.  Jaguars #17 Bianca Macedo, a recent graduate of Assumption College, used her fantastic ball skills and speed to take the ball from midfield, break into the Kickback's final third, and get a shot off low and wide of the closing defender and keeper.

Also notable performance put in my the Jaguars keeper, Camila Salvador, who made some beautiful diving saves and came out strong against Kickback breakaways.
