The Knights shots would finally break through as Natalie Strkalj would put the Knights on the board in the 61st minute with her first goal of the season that was assisted by Miagh Downey. The Royals would start to take shots at the goal in their attempts to tie the match back up but Courtney Link hold strong, making two saves in the span of 35 seconds. The Knights would take control of the ball late in the second half and keep the Royals from taking any shots after the 62:01 mark to go on for the 1-0 victory.
