Senior Rose Nienaber (Cincinnati/Oak Hills) scored just 4:29 into the match off an assist from junior Siena Ward (Newport Beach, Cal./Newport Harbor). Ward drew the keeper out of the goal and fed a backward pass to Nienaber, who scored on a long shot from outside the box into an empty net.

Nienaber then scored on a penalty kick with 29:26 gone in the game after junior Jenna Fuller (South Lyon, Ill./Countryside) was fouled in the box.

Sophomore Emma Barney (Oak Harbor) scored with 9:26 left in the half on a blast from 20 yards out to put ONU up 3-0.
