On the following goal, Siera Strawser was able to beat Lauren Berlingo and to find the back of the net. Oklahoma State was able to stifle UL's offense and tacked on a third goal in the 34th minute when Megan Marchesano kicked in a loose ball for a 3-0 lead at the half.
OSU continued the offensive trend in the second half, scoring in the 53rd minute, the 71st minute and in the 81st. In the 90th minute of the match, the Cowgirls were able to score one more time for the final score, 7-0.
