Tyrone freshman Chloe LaRosa then scored twice in five minutes with assists from Sophia Nelson and Jaylee Shuke to tie the game at 3.

“It was a well fought game. We just couldn’t finish on the opportunities we got,” said senior captain Madison Soellner.

The Lady Eagles let up after their three goals.
