Unfortunately Baker scored in the 105th minute.
After three games, Park managed to snap its game losing streak with a win against Freed-Hardeman. The first half proved scoreless for both teams. Bridget Steiner scored in the 48th minute of the outing. Steiner scored again and gave Park a 2-0 lead. Park held off Freed-Hardeman long enough to snag its first win of the season.
