42'| Just four minutes later, Bare was at it again, she found Lindsay Perkins, who just subbed in less 90 seconds earlier, and Perkins knocked in Bare's pass. | SLU 2-0 |

Coach's Quotes
"There were a lot of great opportunities tonight, and when we face conference teams, we need to make sure we capitalize on the same types of opportunities we had tonight. I thought Katie Waddell was outstanding, I don't know how many shots she had but it felt like the goalkeeper was the size of the goal every time she shot. These are always tricky games, but to come away with the clean sheet at home, to do so well offensively, and everyone got to play, we are relatively happy with the win. Now we let them celebrate them tonight, and we get ready to prepare for a hard regional weekend ahead."

On Bare's and Perkin's impact off the bench
"Kelsey has experience, and Lindsay has a simple job to do, and she does it. She turns, and fires her shots off. She did that tonight and got the goal. Kelsey is a fantastic team member, and we can always rely on her."
