Later in the first half, Jones added another try to take a 12-7 lead. The Phoenix evened the game with a try as the game went to half.

Guilford scored the lone try from Savannah Marchinsky. Jones made the conversion to give GC the 19-12 win.

Game 2: Guilford 15, Elon 14

Up 7-5 after the half, the Phoenix increased their lead to nine (14-5). Marchinsky cut the deficit with a try but the clock was working against GC. 

After getting the ball back, the Quakers moved the ball down the pitch as Jones scored with just a few seconds left in the game to secure the one-point victory (15-14).
