FROM THE COACH
"They jumped on us quickly tonight," head coach
Arby Busey said. "Got ourselves in a hole we couldn't get out of. Grew a bit as the game went on, but we weren't able to string enough good moments together to claw our way back into the game. We'll turn our attention to Saturday and work for a better result."

- Taylor Krueger tried to chip into the WWU lead in the 43rd minute with a shot toward the lower right corner of the net, but it was saved.
- Krueger had another shot on goal in the 66th minute, but it was saved.
- Kylie Hendry and Grace Gouran had back-to-back shots in the 82nd minute, with Hendry's being blocked and Gouran's missing high.
