In the second half, the Aces were tested again as Evansville faced three shots from SLU's Megan Crevoiserat within a 1:06 span with Till stopping all three. Freshman Emily Ormson looked to tie the match in the 74th minute as Ormson headed the ball towards the goal, but SLU kept the Aces off the scoreboard. The final 15 minutes featured the Billikens continuing to push for their second goal of the evening as SLU recorded eight shots with five on-goal as Evansville continued to showcase strong defensive play as Saint Louis picked up the 1-0 win.

Ormson and Wolak paced Evansville, each putting a shot on-frame in the match. In goal, Michaela Till made a career-high 15 saves, the most by an Evansville goalkeeper since at least 2009, allowing one goal. Till's save total was not only a career high, but also tied the record for most saves by a goalkeeper at Hermann Stadium, originally set by Arkansas State's Adrienne Mann on August 31, 2003.
