The regular season game concluded with a score of 2-1, getting the Barons back into the win column. The game was tightly contested throughout the first half, which ended in a 1-1 tie.

Her efforts were instrumental in maintaining the tie for the Barons that Marin later capitalized on. Head Coach Phillip Borde shared his thoughts on the team's performance. "Thank God for the opportunity today to play and coach the sport we love. The game was hard-fought. We have been suffering with a ton of injuries, so it was nice to see the girls bounce back and get a win. Tactically, there are still things we need to clean up, but we take the wins any way we can get them. Now we need to prepare for the next one and focus on getting healthy. I thank God for protecting the players in a hard-fought match."
