The Mocs cut into the deficit within the first two minutes of the second half with a goal by Shimberg. Adames nearly tied the game in the 50^th minute, but that was saved by a fresh EWU keeper. One minute later, the Tigers took a 4-2 lead off a goal by Rose-Bertude Rosinvil. FSC had great shot attempts by Adames, Shimberg, and Maddie Ladish over the next 15 minutes, but were not able to score.
