Shortly after, Eastern Washington's Maddie Morgan put the Eagles up by two when she scored in the 19^th minute. The Eagles secured their third and final goal of the match in the 38^th minute. Throughout the rest of the opening half, the Wildcats were not able to create anything of concern for the opposing keeper, and that 0-3 lead from EWU would hold as they headed into halftime.
