The third quarter freshman Morgan McDowall added her name to the scorer's table, helping keep a 5-4 lead headed to the final eight minutes.
 
Midway through the fourth Lara Luka, put the 'Bows up one. However, with 50 seconds left UCI was able to sneak one bye Layburn to tie the game and go to overtime.
 
It was all Rainbow Wahine in overtime, as the defense shut out the Anteaters. Lemay-Lavoe and McDowall put two goals past the keeper to give UH the boost they needed to put the game away.
