The 35th minute saw junior Christina Trenton provide her first career assist on Kemper's second goal of the match, stretching the lead to 3-0 in favor of Sacramento State.

In the second half, the Hornets found the back of the net one final time, as in the 55th minute senior Kara Taylor served a free kick that found the head of Kemper, who redirected toward the foot of junior Ashley Forbes, who scored her second goal of the season, accounting for the final margin of 4-0.

For the match, the Roadrunners outshot the Hornets 12-10, with Sacramento State scoring on four of their six shots on goal. Forbes led the Hornets with four shots, while redshirt freshman 'keeper Savannah Abercrombie provided five saves and her second career clean sheet in as many starts.
