The Lions got back on the attack for two more goals though with Mackenzie Johnson and Marlee Galper playing a little tag team with each one netting a goal and swapping assists to make it 6-1.

Katie Schebel for ANM kicked in next off a pass from Monica Merchant and then connected again from Kristina Breton as Alex Corrado pocketed one last goal in the waning minutes of the first half to send the teams into the break with Emerson holding a 7-3 lead.
