Peace goalkeeper Gaby Vazquez registered 17 saves, including several strong stops to keep the Pacers within reach.

William Peace's first chance came in the 20th minute when Kerlyn Navarrete Trejos forced a save from Brevard starter Abby Nunez (6-0-0). Nunez and senior Nico Arroyo combined for the clean sheet, splitting time in goal.
