Appalachian held the advantage in shots, 13-7,  and shots on goal, 4-3. App had near misses at the net including multiple shots that hit the crossbar during the contest.

Troy's Kate Lorenz scored the match's only goal when she had a breakaway before finding the back of the frame. Appalachian continued to find a chance to tie the match to force overtime, but couldn't find the right opportunity in the closing minutes of the game.

Four different Mountaineers fired off shots at the goal, with Jamie Palermo, Lindsey Tully, Kat Greer and Maggie Hanusek all tallying shots on goal.

Taylor Ray started her 11th match of the season, playing all 90 minutes during the match. She came away with one save on three shots by Troy.
