However, the goalkeeper of SAGU Zoe Boldt was there to save all three attempts. In the 22nd minute of play, Oklahoma City got on the board as Abby Russell netted her team-leading ninth goal of the season on an assist from McLain Moss. SAGU was left scoreless in the first half after having two shots on goal with three total attempts. OCU took a lead of 1-0 into the locker room after the first forty-five minutes of play.  

Second Half    

Oklahoma City has been a strong second-half team all season long and the Stars were able to extend their lead as Roberts was awarded a free kick from just inside the midfield stripe that was sent into the box and through the SAGU defenders only to be picked up by the foot of Piper Nichols who sent it into the net to give OCU a 2-0 lead. SAGU was able to answer back as Stephanie Hernandez, the third-highest scorer in the conference cashed in her 15th goal of the season. OCU came close to striking another goal but could not finish it home. The stellar defense of Oklahoma City stepped up once again in the late part of the match as the Stars only allowed one more shot on goal in the final 30 minutes of action as OCU secured a 2-1 victory.
