– Johanna Dupont’s deflected strike against the run of play turned out to be enough for the unbeaten Hillers to secure a place in the Final Four. Franklin had the slight edge in possession in the opening half but struggled to create clear-cut scoring chances. Kelly O’Connor and Morgan Lovell each had shots from distance that were saved but nothing inside the box. After half an hour, Dupont picked up a pocket of space about 25 yards from goal and her shot took a heavy deflection before sliding just inside the post. In the second half, Franklin went searching for an equalizer. O’Connor ran onto a through ball from Lovell, getting a toe on it to knock it by the keeper but also just wide of the post. Selene Hammad had a shot from 20 yards saved and Anya Zub’s strike from the edge of the box went narrowly over. In the 56th minute, Hammad met Cassidy Carmignani’s corner with a powerful header that Aila Chase managed to stop on the line. The Franklin players insisted that the ball had crossed the goal line, but the official waved away their protests. Olivia Costa would also get a chance with five minutes to go, but again the shot stayed the wrong side of the post and the Hillers were able to see out the win.
