Indiana Wesleyan had its best chance 17 minutes later. Katie Pannabecker (JR/Leo, Ind.) took a shot but the USF keeper was able to make the save. The shot on goal was the only one for Indiana Wesleyan in the match.

The Cougars outshot the Wildcats 15-8 in the game and held an 8-1 advantage in shots on goal. IWU keeper Megan Weiss (FR/Lexington, Ohio) made seven saves in eight chances in net for the Wildcats
