First Half     

After getting knocked out of the Sooner Athletic Conference tournament a season ago by USAO the Stars were ready to avenge themselves and snap a six-game losing streak against the Drovers that dated back to 2018. The Stars only had one shot attempt through 28 minutes of play as Abby Russell gave it a try and just missed by a couple of inches by hitting the crossbar on her attempt. A minute later the Stars were given a throw-in as Reese Roberts took control of the ball and pitched one from a long distance over the head of the goalkeeper to get OCU on the board first. The Stars only took one more shot attempt to the Drover three however USAO came up empty as the match went into the halftime break with Oklahoma out in front 1-0.  

 Second Half 

Looking to carry the momentum on in the second half OCU was not able to get a shot off through the first 18 minutes of action. USAO had plenty of chances taking seven shots but again coming up empty as Gemma Harvey collected two saves in that span. In the 64th minute Ameila Horsford went for the shot that was deflected by the USAO defense however McLain Moss caught the deflection and sank the 15-foot shot to put the Stars ahead 2-nil. USAO took six shots in the final 25 minutes of play but Harvey and stellar OCU defense refused to allow anything to go in the net as the Stars clinched the shutout victory as time expired.
