In the 20th minute Missouri Valley doubled its lead as Ashley Arribas scored off an assist by Viktoria Einsbor on a cross from the left side and a shot just inside the left post for the goal.

Wesleyan had several chances early in the second half as Carstyn Anderson had a try that was saved that prompted back to back corners for the Coyotes, the second one resulting in a shot missed just over the crossbar by Maleia Jackson.
