- In a game in which both teams peppered the net with shots, combing for 49 total attempts, Mary Clair made a pair of  huge stops on the endline in the early going to keep things even.
 
- Lillie Toaspern put the Bears up 1-0 just 1:09 into the second half, taking a pass from Anna Zambricki at the goalmouth after a scramble in front. Ten minutes later Zambricki made it 2-0, one-timing a cross from Toaspern.
