125 people were in attendance for this mountain east conference matchup. The first half of the game was a scoreless one, as neither team was able to find the back of the net. The second half was a different story. West Liberty freshman Amelia Compston scored a goal in the 50 minute. Then in the 52 minute, freshman Maya Taggart found freshman Katie Farley at the top of the six-yard box and Farley proceeded to head the ball in for a second goal.

With the Hilltoppers up 2-0, the Bobcats needed a score of their own. 23 seconds after the Hilltoppers scored their second goal, Beth Burchett scored a goal to cut the lead to one. That would be the last score of the game and the West Liberty Hilltoppers would take home the victory by a score of 2-1 bringing the Hilltoppers record to 3-4-2.
