KEY MOMENTS

• The Wildcats netted the game-winner in the 57^th minute after a shot by Nia Harris hit off the left post and back inside the net.

QUOTABLE
"We've been struggling to put together a full 90 minutes and we need to continue to build on that. There are too many times where we have small lapses and lose track of some of the details and fundamentals of what we're trying to do - whether it's our individual defending or our fight and relentlessness in the box on the offensive end. We were good for the most part today, but not quite good enough to come out on the right end of the scoreboard. We were aggressive and earned opportunities, especially on corners. We just weren't able to capitalize."
-- Head Coach Amy Berbary

UP NEXT
• Indiana returns to action on Sunday afternoon as the Hoosiers visit Illinois. First kick is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET and the game will be streamed on BTN Plus.
