First Half   

It didn't take long for the Stars to have a chance to score as a foul inside the box on Carlee Gassman gave OCU a penalty try. Gisselle Estrada took the PK and got it to go putting Oklahoma City in front 1-0 at the twenty-third-minute mark. OCU only allowed two shots in the first half with one coming on goal. No more points were to be scored for the rest of the way sending the contest into the halftime break with OCU out in front.  

Second Half   

It only took 27 seconds for the Stars to strike in the second period as another foul inside the box led to an OCU penalty kick. Abby Russell lined up this time to take the attempt as she became successful and found the net putting Oklahoma City up 2-0. 10 minutes later Estrada cashed in her second goal of the afternoon on an assist from freshman Yami Ponce. Ahead 3-0 OCU still had more left in the tank with over 20 minutes to go. Out on the break, Sydney Hawkins found Estrada who sent the ball in the air to the back of the net completing the hat trick and going up 4-0. In the 78th minute, OCU had one more goal left in them as Ashton Seratte took her turn and scored her first goal of the season to give the Stars a season-high five points going on to win 5-0.
