Jess Hanley nearly had the answer for the Bison (1-2-1) in the ninth minute, as her header off of a Devon Kavanagh corner beat the keeper Addie Ford, but was cleared off the line by a Drake defender.

Drake would double its advantage in the 56^th minute, as Layla Kelbel would connect on a Madelyn Smith corner from close range for the final goal.
