The Panthers were strong defensively but only managed 11 shots in the game. The Bears scored at the 25:49 mark when Sarah Guenther placed a deflected ball, off a corner kick, into the back of the UNI net. SMS outshot UNI 14-to-three in the first half. The Panthers came to life in the second half firing eight shots to the Bears nine. Tara Miley took an assist from Guenther in the 76th minute to put SMS up by two.
