Keeping it Balanced

Handling Adversity
- The Barons could have easily lost to Saint Vincent
- Every time the Barons equalized, the Bearcats returned fire with a goal of their own to take the lead
- The last Saint Vincent goal came at the 81:14 mark, which very easily could've spelled the end for the Barons
- They did not roll over and give up, and freshman defender Bella Urso scored the third goal of the game for Franciscan, securing the tie
