Unfortunately, Wolverhampton responded by equalizing in the 79th minute, leaving the game tied at 2-2 and both teams sharing the points in the Northern Premier Division.

Now, Stoke City Women are thinking about how to approach their upcoming matches in the season. Their game against Stourbridge FC Ladies, originally scheduled for September 15, was postponed, and they are still waiting for a new date.

Currently, Stoke City Women are in 7th place with 7 points from 5 matches. They are 6 points above the relegation zone and 9 points behind league leaders Nottingham Forest Women. It will be a crucial time for the players to continue working hard, focus on their upcoming matches, and improve their level of play to get on a positive streak for the rest of the season.
