The Lions would respond to the chance minutes later, as they opened the scoring on a strong individual effort from Brenna McGuire 20 minutes in.

The Lions controlled nearly all of the offensive possession in the second half as they were ale to score three more goals on 12 shots. McGuire scored a brace 5 minutes into the second frame, and her teammates put the game away with two quick goals in the 75th and 77th minutes.Bethel made 4 more saves in the second half to bring her toal for the game to 9.
