Martha Owens (Calremore, Okla.) and Nicole Bucelluni (Tulsa, Okla.) both registered their first goals of the season for ORU, while Jessica Kellog (Tulsa, Okla.) added her team-leading fourth goal of the year.

The Golden Eagles finally got on the board at the game's 62:38 mark, as Martha Owens beat Western goalkeeper Carey Cowhey on a penatly kick for a 1-0 ORU lead. Western scored the equalizer on a Casey Cox penalty kick just 36 seconds later.

Jessica Kellog scored the game-winning goal as she found the back of the net from eight yards out in the game's 69th minute. Kellog's goal was part of ORU's 16-11 shot advantage on the day. The Golden Eagles also limited Western to just one corner kick in the game.
