UTD outshot Concordia a staggering, 52-0, with 24 shots on goal. Concordia goalkeeper Elizabeth Hall was busy making 16 saves. At the half, the Comets were only up 2-0, but got on the board again at the 61:50 mark and scored five of the goals in the next 20-minute span.

UTD 0, UT-TYLER 0
The Comets and Patriots went 110:00 without either team finding the back of the net in an extremely even game. Tyler did have five shots on goal that required saves from UTD keeper Andrea Jones, but the Comet defensive line kept the Patriots at bay most of the evening. Lauren Huffman had a pair of shots on goal for UTD before leaving with an injury.
