Both teams remained scoreless heading into the half.

2nd Half
S&T was the first to put pressure on in the second half. The Miners earned a throw-in and Chayse Richardson sent a flip-throw into the box in the 54^th minute. The throw connected with the head of Madeline Goeke and the ball found the back of the net to put the home team up 1-0.

The Hawks looked to respond quickly following the goal. Senior Baylee Smith sent in a shot five minutes later, but it was saved by Steins.

The two teams combined for just seven shots the rest of the way.

Quincy's final chance came in the 81^st minute when Smith got off two more shots. One missed just left and the other was scooped up by Steins.
