Lexi Minicucci notched the lone Westfield goal, scoring in the first five minutes off a penalty corner. Mackenzie Millikan earned the assist.
“I’m proud of the girls,” Westfield coach Karen Gomez said. “It was a very intense game. It felt like a tournament game. Both teams really turned it up. We were conditioned; we just couldn’t capitalize.”
