The game stayed scoreless until

Amelia Rodriguez. The Saints immediately retaliated one minute later to tie the game back up.
Greta Banholzer passed to
Karlie Quinn for another go-ahead goal two minutes later. It was Quinn's second goal and Banholzer's second assist of the season. Once again, the Saints would not go away as they scored with 2:14 remaining.

Robben then iced the game with the game-winning goal with one minute remaining. That goal was Robben's third on the day and fifth of the season.
