The Lady Evangels jumped on top thanks to an own goal 2:58 into the match before Braydi Frederick tied the match for JBU off an assist from Nicole Kosin in the 33rd minute.
It stayed tied through the remainder of the first half until Sara Frey gave the Golden Eagles the lead for good with a goal at the 55:17 mark of the second half.

Swisher, the Lady Evangels' lone senior, led MACU with five shots but the Lady Evangels were out-shot 17-12 overall and 12-9 on-goal.
