Late in the second half, the Lady Buffs started to advance up the field and find shots of their own. Ashley Silvestre found a shot in the 77^th minute but watched her attempt go wide. With less than five minutes to play, Sydney Martin placed a shot on goal, but FLC goalkeeper Riley Bravin kept WT off the scoreboard.
