First-Half Breakdown
The Cardinals got off to a fast start and never looked back as Zaria Neptune netted her first-career game-winning goal just nine seconds into action.  After Stephanie Ramirez doubled York's advantage at the 2:47 mark, Neptune struck again in the 10th and 17th minutes off helpers by Alisha Adams and Emelin Cajamarca, respectively, to produce her first-career hat trick.  Cajamarca then assisted on Brithney Bielma's goal in the 20th minute before finding the back of the net in the 27th minute to make it a 6-0 game.  Neptune added her career-high fourth goal of the game at 40:04 to send York into the break with a commanding seven-score advantage.
