With ten minutes remaining in the first period, senior Alex McCord converted on a penalty kick after the Riverhawks committed a foul within the box.  McCord successfully made another one minutes later upon teammate sophomore forward Glory Amalaha getting fouled on a breakaway. She also finished the match as the leader in shots with four.   
 
Freshman Ashlynn Pounds made her first start for the Lions in-between the posts, making five saves on 11 shots faced and 24 total shots seen from the Riverhawks.
