• The Nighthawks would find the back of the net in the 26th minute, as Alejandra Jaramillo capitalized on a mistake by CWU. The Nighthawks led 0-1.
• Tatum Zuber would record the only other shot before halftime, missing high right.

SECOND HALF

• The magic started in the 84th minute when the 'Cats picked up a corner kick. Zuber lofted the ball deep where Casey Park got up, made strong contact, and tied the game up at 1-1. Park leads the Wildcats with three goals on the season.
• The magic continued in the 89th minute. Darcy dribbled the ball inside the NNU box and caught the NNU goalie off guard with a quick shot, putting the Wildcats in the lead 2-1 with a minute remaining.
