The Tigers fought back in the remaining minutes and trimmed the deficit to 2-1 with 19:09 to left to play when sophomore forward Allie Burns scored on a cross from freshman Abigail Stager. NA continued to pressure down the stretch but were unable to find the equalizer.
North Allegheny falls to 4-2 overall following the loss. Fox Chapel remains undefeated with a record of 6-0. The Tigers return to action on Thursday night with a home section matchup with the Seneca Valley Raiders.
