NSU found a little more offense in the first half and was able to get off four shots. Sophomore midfielder Julia Mathis equalized in the 54th minute, but Becky Roberts was able to net the game winner in the 79th minute of play for the home side.
 
The RiverHawks were outshot 8-6, and both teams had three shots on goal. Northeastern State has been outshot now in in two of its three losses, but tonight's six shots were the fewest the RiverHawks have attempted in a match all season.
