COACH'S QUOTE

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Jenkins helped the Catamounts get on the scoreboard in the third minute. Alyssa Oviedo sent a low through ball into the penalty area for Jenkins, who fired the go-ahead score into the bottom left corner of the net.
• UMBC had a good chance to tie the game in the 16th minute but UVM keeper Kacey Lambertson (4 saves) made a diving save. Amberlina Arugbie tried to bend a shot under the crossbar but Lambertson jumped and knocked the potential equalizer over the crossbar.
• Vermont doubled its leads to 2-0 in the 53rd minute with Christina Barry's first goal of the season. Casey Garfinkel booted a corner kick into the center of the box and Barry knocked a header towards the near post. The ball bounced into the bottom right corner over the goal line just past the outstretched hands of UMBC goalie Jade Wilkins (4 saves).
