The game was then forced into penalty kicks and SNU was without its starting keeper, Rachael Wade, who was pulled after struggling with an injury she suffered against Oklahoma City. Both team made their first two before Bruna Da Cas, who was played the second half in goal for SNU, got a break when Casey O'Brien's shot bounced off the cross bar and Da Cas brought quickly snagged it.
 
Whitney Kloiber gave SNU a 3-2 advantage with her successful PK, but JBU tied it up on the very next try. Mallary Schaub made it 4-3 for SNU before Da Cas made the game-winning save when she dove to her left to stop Rachel Harris' attempt to seal the game.
 
The game didn't start as exciting as it ended.
