OCU got off five shots in the first 30 minutes as Hallie Crom gave two attempts that nailed the crossbar and the other was blocked by the Evangel defense. On the MACU side of the pitch, Mia Willyerd lined up a corner kick that found Deborah Silveira who knocked it in to give MACU a 1-0 lead in the 75th minute of play. OCU tried to make its way back but could only get one shot on goal for the rest of the match as the attempt from Jimena Martinez was saved by the Evangel keeper Rachel Torres. As time expired Mid-America Christian came out on top with a 1-0 victory.
