Junior Ella Short (Denver, Colo./Denver East) had her attempt to tie the game saved by the Cobbers' goalkeeper in the 13^th minute. First year Timna Nevo (Portland, Ore./Sunset) also had a shot saved in the first half.
 
First year Adi Nhouyvanisvong (Wayzata, Minn./Minnetonka) immediately forced a save from Concordia's goalkeeper, just seconds after the second half whistle blew. Both teams battled hard to create chances.
