How it Happened
The Drovers got off to a quick start by finding the back of the net just seven minutes in the contest from beyond 40 yards out off the foot of Ilse de Jong. Moments later Science & Arts extended its lead as Paula Cagotsajus provided the goal. The Stars went into the locker room trailing by two before Oklahoma City cut the deficit in half 20 minutes in as
Hallie Crom nailed her eighth goal of the season off the assist by
Yami Ponce. Needing a score, Oklahoma City could only get off two more shots with one on-goal from Ponce and the next in the 86th minute by
Yessenia Ochoa-Lopez which was blocked by the USAO defense leading to a 2-1 victory for the opposition.
