In the 38th minute, senior goalkeeper
Charlotte Huggard (Plymouth, Mich.) came up with a key stop on a breakaway attempt from Avery Toms to keep the match scoreless. With six minutes remaining, freshman forward
Kendall Dobberstein (Omaha, Neb.) went one-on-one with Miller, but the keeper made the save.
