How It Happened

>> Stefani Doyle put away a Parker Goins free kick with a header in the 55th-minute.

>> A Razorback free kick was redirected across the face of goal to Bryana Hunter, who had her initial header blocked, but was able to put the rebound away.

Hear It From Coach Hale

“We stayed with it. We made a few small adjustments in the second half and I think we wore them down. Auburn is a good team and we knew they would come out flying and they did. I’m proud of the effort, the focus and the commitment. It’s a fun group and we have a lot to still get better at.”
