Team SLU was able to tie it up in the 73^rd minute. Redshirt freshman Makenzie Maher scored on a one-on-one break away as she blasted it into the bottom left corner of the net securing the tie.
 
"It was really good to get out and compete the way we did today," said fourth-year SLU soccer head coach Chris McBride. "It was a beautiful day and we had some of the players' families and friends able to come out and the enjoy the match. Today really had the game day atmosphere to it so a lot of positives came from it. All and all I was happy with what I saw from the girls today. We've been working a lot this fall and I felt like a lot of what we've been working on was implemented in today's game."
 
Team SLU outshot Team Lions 12-8 in Sunday's 80-minute match. Sophomore Mya Guillory led Team Southeastern with five shots while freshman Hailie Yoder added four. Lexie Gundersen and Claire Huston paced Team Lions with three shots each.
