Corvallis took an early 1-0 lead when Corinne Sanderson scored unassisted in the 28th minute. She scored again at 48 minutes to expand the lead.

Corvallis would tack on a third goal at 56 minutes to seal the victory.

Whitefish finally put one past Doyle in the 75th minute when Haley Nicholson scored on an assist from Julia Houston.
