The Wildcats were in control during most of the match. But, during the 66^th minute, Kimani Cook (Pearl) was fouled, leading to a goal on a penalty kick from Macey Peacock (Pearl).
 
Less than ten minutes later, the Eagles found the back of the net thanks to Anna McCool (Pearl). This goal was the deciding factor in the match.
 
"The girls played well organized soccer," assistant coach Lydia Sutcliffe said. "We were down a goal at the half, and it takes character to win a game when down," Sutcliffe said.
