[ TICKETS: East Conference Final ]
FCB and Lancaster drew 2-2 at All-High Stadium in the regular season, and the Inferno answered both of our two-goal leads Friday.
Marcy Barberic scored the Wolves’ other goal and Carissima Cutrona and Dani Vis each had assists in the win.
Injuries and absences led to two changes to the starting lineup, as Abby Molloy and Julia Schurr opened the match on the pitch. Nichole Grichen entered the match late to make her FCB debut.
