In the 34^th minute, Samantha Guzman hit the equalizer with her fourth goal of the season. Guzman had a free kick from just outside the 18 yard box. She sent the kick over the line of Roo defenders for the goal in the upper-center part of the net.

In the 41^st minute, Alex Machado connected for her first goal of the season, and ultimately the game winner, to put ORU up, 2-0. A free ball was sent to Guzman running down the right side of the field. Guzman then sent the ball into the penalty area to Machado for the goal from eight yards out.

Paige Venrick sent a long ball from midfield into the penalty area that bounced around and found Thasaphong. Thasaphong collected the ball and struck the back of the net to make it a 3-1 match in the 68^th minute for her fourth goal of the year. Venrick claimed her first assist and point of the season.

The Golden Eagles had four second half shots on goal.

Quote from Head Coach Austin Risenhoover
"First of all, I want to say thank you to Jess (Kansas City Head Coach) and her program. They were a class act today and were supportive of our emotional week. We asked the girls to find three points on a Sunday. I don't love that we keep going down a goal, but if you look at our behaviors we continue to have those shine. Also, if you look at our attack, it was dynamic today. Three goals on anyone in our conference is hard. I am so proud of our group there. We are continuing to grow and continuing to get better and that's exciting. Now, we focus on the Dakotas."
