Huff paced the offense with three shots, including two on frame. Freshman Courtney Davis (Richmond, MI/Richmond) piled up 11 saves for the home team. Franklin put up 29 shots, to just four for the Beavers. The Grizzlies forced seven more corner kicks (8-1) and were whistled for four more fouls (8-4).
