      33. 34'

        Beth McGowan spots Clarke off her line, with her shot going wide of the right-hand post. Better from Gwalia.

        Perry on the half turn shoots, forcing Yarwood into another save.

      38. 24'

        Almost three. Another superb delivery is headed over by Lachante Paul.
