Alex Young brought Northwest within a goal in the 39th minute off a double assisted effort from Alex Jones and Holly Newman, scoring her third goal of the young season, to make it 2-1 at the half.

Newman and the Lady Rangers drew even at 2-2 in the 53rd minute when the freshman took a rebound off Jones' shot and scored it past the arms of Tera Tims.

Northwest would then complete the three-goal swing in the 75th minute when Taylor Renth deflected a clearance from the keeper and raced around her for the open net goal and game-winner.
