• The score doubled just four minutes later, as Haley Knesek was fouled in the box and converted the penalty kick herself
• Lubbock Christian's last goal came off another Burdsal throw-in in the 76^th minute. Scott flicked into the box again, Carmen Herndon touched the ball past a UTPB defender and Hollie Windham fired into the back of the net
• Almodova created one more scoring chance for LCU, but it was saved and the game ended at 3-0
