KEY MOMENTS | HIGHLIGHTS

13' / 0 – 0 | Kansas City had one of its best looks of the evening as Lily Hollis found an open Brianna Castleberry on the right side of the box. Castleberry then crossed the ball to an open Kamolz, who quickly fired off a shot to the bottom left of the goal. The well-placed shot was battled away just in front of the goal line by an Oral Roberts defender to keep the game scoreless.
43' / 0 – 0 | The Golden Eagles brought the ball down the field with pace, losing control momentarily but regaining it just outside the six-yard box. Sibbing came off her line quickly and made a diving play on the ball to keep the game scoreless.
48' / 1 – 0 | KC looked to clear a dangerous ball from Oral Roberts, but the block found Carson Arne who got a foot on the ball placing it in the top right corner.
89' / 1 – 0 | Adriana Benassi broke through two Oral Roberts defenders just inside the box. She fired a shot with her right foot, but the Oral Roberts keeper was positioned to make the save.
