That goal tied the score at 3 after the Eagles surrendered a 2-1 halftime lead. Crawford would add the game winner in the 66th minute and Young would get her second assist of the game.
Crawford scored the second goal of the game in the 38th minute off a pass from Miranda Wiley. That gave Asbury a 2-1 lead at the break. The Eagles would surrender the lead early in the second half with two goals Allison Guion, who had all three for Taylor on the afternoon.
