Missouri Southern's defense held strong until the 79th minute when Victoria Bright nailed her first goal of the year from 20-yards out off of an assist from Meo. Just three minutes later, Munnelly dribble around in the box through several defenders and then finally tapped in the third goal of the game.

MSSU's Alese Woolard had 10 saves in the loss while SBU's Sara Eppler had one save on one shot.
