The Royals came away with the 3-2 in to remain undefeated in league play.

The remainder of the first half passed by scoreless. Queens (7-6-2/7-0-1 CC)  took two more shots, 6-4, than Barton in the half. Barton's Ashley Gregory made three saves while Queens' Kristen Kornacki (Glen Allen, Va., Deep Run )made one.

Katherine Johnson (Chapel Hill, N.C., Northwood )added one more for the Royals to give them the 2-1 lead in the 64th minute of play. Johnson's shot was another long bomb that hit the side panel of the goal, just over Gregory's outstretched fingers. Katherine Carr (Upper Marlboro, Md. , St. Mary's )assisted Johnson.

Peterson spoiled the Royals thoughts of a regulation victory in the 85th minute of play. She was assisted by Allie Wilkerson.
