The Tigers broke through on the scoreboard first in the 24^th minute. Kaylee Evers scored her first goal of the season and took a 1-0 lead. The rest of the half saw Tiger goalkeeper Samantha Tuuk face a flurry of Trojan shots. The best opportunity for a Trojan goal came at the 35^th minute when a shot went off the post. Tuuk and the Tigers held a 1-0 lead going into the second half.

Camille Cote came out firing in the second half for the Tigers as she sent in the first shot, but it was saved by the TIU goalkeeper.
