In the second half, Midwest United scored another early goal at the 47th minute mark from Avery Lockwood.

Detroit kept pressing, looking for that goal that would pull them back into the match. In the 77th, Grace Philpotts got through and sent the ball through the Midwest keeper and into the back of the net.
