Then just five minutes later, Jennifer Colvin one-touched a Jackie Morgan shot off the cross bar past the Spartan keeper for the game winner at 55:20.  Colvin lifted her numbers to 11 goals and 6 game-winners (#1 in AMCC) as she fights for an all-conference nod.

Early in the first half, Terra Juda converted a penalty kick at 10:35 for the solo Spartan goal.
