Senior defender Zoe Cormier would step to the spot and slot home the winning goal that would push them into the semifinals. The Bearcat defense would hold strong for the rest of the match with senior goalkeeper Peyton Baker getting the clean sheet and earning two saves.
They will now play No. 3 seed Missouri S&T where, in the regular season, got the better of McKendree on a last-minute goal. This will be the first time the two sides have seen each other in postseason play.
