Baylor struck for the first tally of the game in the 32^nd minute on a shot from distance. Raegan Padgett's first goal of the night clanged off the crossbar and bounced into the net for a 1-0 lead.

Out of halftime, Baylor took control of the match, scoring three times on eight shots. Padgett picked up her second goal of the game in the 57^th minute as she chipped in a shot over the keeper's head for a 2-0 lead.

Gracie Brian had the best chance for the Frogs in the second half. In the 63^rd minute, the Frogs earned a corner kick. Grace Collins' feed was on target, but Brian's header trickled just wide of the goal.

A goal in the 67^th minute off a deflection pushed the Baylor advantage to 3-0. A penalty kick in the 83^rd minute accounted for the final score.
