Union trailed 3-0 at the half and was outshot 20-0 in the first half. 

Neither team scored for the first 33 minutes of the second half. Union finally got on the board in the 79th minute on a goal from Alice Nelson on a long shot from 30 yards out. Five minutes later, Austen DeLoach added Union's second goal on a one-on-one shot. Despite the 2-0 goal advantage for Union in the second half, UT Martin outshot Union 22-3 in the final 45 minutes of play.
