33' / 1 – 1 | Kansas City picked up a foul nearly a foot outside the 18-yard box. Anderson took the free kick finding the top right corner without hesitation and retying the game.
51' / 1 – 2 | Madison Page knocked one to the USD keeper's far side just right of the goal. Kamolz ran in on the play immediately shooting and giving KC its only advantage of the game. South Dakota responded in 52^nd minute to retie the game.

STATS TO NOTE

Anderson picked up her first goal of the season, making her KC's 11^th unique scorer. 11 is the most individual scorers Kansas City has had since 2020 when the Roos finished the season with 11. The most unique goal scorers in program history is 14 which the Roos earned during the 2014 season.
