How it Happened
  • For the ninth time on the season, the Yotes struck first in the third minute when senior Jordan Centineo sent a through ball across the box to a wide open fifth year senior Alexis Mitchell who rocketed it pass the goalkeeper.
  • The Yotes kept on the offensive end for most of the first half registering seven shots compared to the Roos one.
  • South Dakota continued to press on the offensive side of things firing off nine more shots in the second half to KC's three.
  • Of the Yotes nine shots in the second half none were closer than Mitchell's shot in the 83rd minute. It was nearly identical to her goal in the opening minute however her shot ricocheted off the crossbar this time.
  • Senior Joana Zanin tried to replicate her free kick from Friday's game against ORU however the goalkeeper was able to just get in front of it this time for the save.
  • South Dakota's defense came up strong once again the final minutes of the game only allowing on shot in the final 20 minutes.
