NKU's leading scorer Macy Hamblin scored her seventh goal of the season as she lifted a shot from outside the box just over Detroit freshman goalkeeper Marina Manzo (Washington Township, Mich. / Romeo) and into the back of the net.

Junior defender Alyssa Lotito (Macomb, Mich. / Eisenhower) had a shot on goal turned away in the 74th minute by NKU goalkeeper Brooke Schocker. In the final minute of the game, sophomore Anna Mindling (Grand Rapids, Mich. / Grand Rapids Christian) and junior Sara Zawacki (Dearborn, Mich. / Marian) each had shots blocked in the box.
