The first half was evenly matched, with both sides trying to capitalize on opportunities.

Macalester opened the second half with a few corner kicks before first year Maia Lemov (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem Central) forced the first save of the half from the Falcon's goalkeeper. The Scots kept up the pressure with Hamilton, Lemov, and junior Ella Thomsen (Palo Alto, Calif./Palo Alto) having more shots saved.
