The second half favored more for the Tornados as graduate senior Audrey Taylor picked up her second yellow card of the game and was sent off with a red. From the 63rd minute on the Angels played a man down. 

Each team produced corner kicks in extra time but were never able to connect to find a winner.

Fifth year senior Kasey Wilkins earned five saves in the clean sheet for the Angels. Fifth year senior Morgan Thomas, junior Meredith Warrick, and freshman Rachel Ward all tallied shots on goal. 

Freshman Haley Vazquez and Kendall Carroll both found the back of the net to start the penalty kick shootout but the Angels came up short down the stretch.
