SWOSU looked to get back in the game and got three shots off that forced Burnette to make two saves within ten minutes of the goal.
The Bulldogs had a nice counter in the 70th minute thanks to
Shelley Mueller. She broke from midfield when a MSU defender slipped. She passed the ball off to Kelly, who hit it to
Ashlee Beitinger. A mishit by Beitinger saw the threat pass.

th minute. This time Callie Briseno sent in the ball for the Mustangs. A deflected shot fell to the feet of Edwards and she placed it into the net.
