The two teams played to a nearly even game statistically speaking, with each team registering nine total shots and five shots on goal. Slippery Rock edged Charleston 6-2 in corner kicks for the afternoon.

Shelby Ward hit what ended up being the game-winner as she put the ball past Golden Eagle keeper Catherine Perry off a crossing pass from Izabell Scott at the 82:44 mark.
