Molly Feighan of the Sooners had all four shots on target for her team in the first half as she was all over the Cyclones defense.

The second half saw more of the same as the match remained 0-0 until the final minute of the game. The Sooners were even more of an attacking threat as they recorded 11 shots and the Cyclones also were knocking on the door with six shots in the second half. 

In addition to the Sooners 11 shots in the second half, they also had six corners, which ultimately came to nothing, but displayed how much they were in the Cyclones’ half in the final 45 minutes of the game. 

In the 89th minute, a cross whipped in to the Cyclones box went off of the post past a diving Silkowitz and Bri Amos was able to tap the ball into the back of the net for the Sooners win.
