Emma Baley was the first to test Oklahoma Christian's keeper, Gabby Goddard, with her fast shot to the bottom left. Goddard made the save for the Eagles.

On the visiting team's first shot of the game, Grace Cornelius rocked the ball into the top netting, right through Taylor Camp's gloves. OCU stood up by one goal with 25 minutes left to play in the first half.

Avery Lewis, playing significantly more minutes since her coming back from injury, put up four of her five total shots in the first half. One of these was on goal and added another save for Goddard.

Down by one, Midwestern State began the second half with a push to find the equalizer. The chance came from the team's first corner of the new half. Alyssa Salinas stepped up to take it and floated the ball perfectly on the six.

Now, the team pushed to score the game-winner. The closest Midwestern State would get was a shot off the left post by Julia Orozco. The senior had three total shots for the game. Senna Garcia added two shots to the total in the second half, with one on goal.
