55' – Sophia Green
 
How It Happened

• After the loss Friday night, South Dakota came out looking to even things between the teams. The coyotes managed three shots in the first half, including one on goal in the 11^th minute to make Mia Reedtz Rehde Olesen work in goal.
• Sophia Green took Omaha's only shot on goal in the first at the 17:11 mark. Emma Harkleroad made the stop low to the right.
• Green connected on Omaha's second shot of the second half. South Dakota misplayed the ball in its defensive zone allowing for Regan Zimmers to gain control. She made a pass into the box to Andrea Daves who used one touch to get it to Green. Green gained control and used a series of moves to break free from USD and send the ball high left into the net. She'd tally the game winner in the 55^th minute.
• The Coyotes fired off five more shots on goal before the end of the match, but Olesen locked down for her second shutout vs. USD and held on for the 1-0 win.
