Both teams applied offensive pressure early in the match as both EIU and MSU looked to get an early advantage in the contest.  EIU goalkeeper Sara Teteak made three saves in the opening period as Morehead State had seven corners in the opening half.  Morehead State had one additional chance go off the cross bar on a shot by Eva Kiper in the 11th minute.

EIU continued the attack just after that goal as they grabbed a free ball at midfield and quickly played it towards the net.  Itxaso Aguero played it through to Barrio who finished off a one-time shot for the goal just 26 seconds after the Panthers opening goal.
 
The Panthers would finish off the offensive attack in the opening ten minutes of the second half as Sarah DeWolf slipped a shot under a diving goalkeeper for the third tally.  Barrio picked up the assist on the goal.
