Niagara controlled the time of possession and the tempo until junior midfielder Colletta Ozbey put the Red Flash on the board with her first of the season. Ozbey received the pass off a terrific assist from Rita Kendziora who centered the pass to make the goal happen. After the goal, Niagara wasn't able to tie the match as the Red Flash defense was stout throughout the contest.
