Head Coach Steve Bellis commented on the match, "We showed some grit and pulled out a good team performance to get the win versus a well coached and organized team." 

Scoring for the Golden Bears were Abby Kloiber in the 15th minute and Ciara Bailey in the 54th minute. With her goal, Kloiber has now scored four in the 2021 season and is tied with Corynn Grabau for second on her squad with four goals.
