In the second half, the contest would become physical, where both teams would pick up yellow cards. Abigail Gutierrez would pick one up in the 47th minute, and Melissa and Maddy Harmon would pick theirs up in the 52 and 56 minutes, respectfully.
 
In the 54th minute, the Rambelles would get on the score sheet again, with Mariah Griffin having her shot rebound off the goalie to an awaiting Grace Jordan to tap it to give the Rambelles a 2-0 lead.

Amber Lockwood would record seven saves on the day to register her seventh shutout of the year and the team's eighth of the season.

From Head Coach Travis McCorkle: "Tough match. I don't think we started off that great, I think we got caught up in Military Appreciation. It's a tough team they are very physical. We got a goal with about two and a half minutes left in the first half, that was a huge momentum help for us going into halftime having that goal lead. They opened up in the second half, and I think it worked out with how you would expect, they gave us a chance where Sanai could have had a third goal for the day. We created some good chances. We are starting to peak at the right time, which is good for us now we go up to TWU. We have helped ourselves today in the conference standing. Hopefully, we can do some things and surprise some people in Denton next week."
