In the second half, Western Oregon found a way to get one past Ng when they scored on a rebound.  The initial shot came at 54:06 off the foot of Lindsay Bauman.  Ng blocked it but she couldn’t do anything about the rebound.  Marina Austin received the rebound and deposited the ball into the open net for her first goal of the season at 54:12.
