Under heavy pressure from the Golden Eagles she corralled a shot by Maggie Gibbons before being knocked to the ground by Kallie Gau. The contact resulted in a yellow card issued to Gau.
 
After a scoreless opening half, the Golden Eagles posted the game's first goal when a shot from the right flank by Beth Lastovich slipped through the arms of Buttron in the 51^st minute.
 
U-Mary would knot the score less than four minutes later. Mykala Benjamin knocked a shot off the left post that bounced across the goal mouth. Senior forward Andrea Muller tracked down the rebound and drove it into the net at 53:48. It was her third counter of the season.
