The Oles added an insurance goal in the 57th minute by Emily Johnson, and the Scots were unable to score despite two shots over the remainder of the game.

Junior goalkeeper Abigail Heuga (San Francisco, Calif./Urban School of San Francisco) played the first half in goal, with sophomore Lily Salazar (Oakland, Calif./Bentley Upper School) registering two saves over the final 45 minutes. Percy had one save, as the Oles held an 11-7 edge in shots taken.
