In the second half, KU tried to get into a rhythm on the offensive end but an early second half goal by WCU build a three-goal lead for the Rams. The Golden Bears would be awarded two penalty corners and put two shots on goal but could not find the back of the cage as Kristin Arnold turned away KU's chances.
