At the half, Berry had outshot Covenant 9-2.

The Vikings had two shots in the first seven minutes of the second half, as one was saved by Sandhoff and the other missed high. Rachel Wall had a look on goal in the 62nd minute that was saved by the Berry goalie.  In the 80th minute, Covenant had its best look of the second half as Leah Marr's shot across goal just missed to the right. 

Berry added a second goal in the 85th minute off the foot of Mia Ries after a Covenant turnover. 
A few minutes later, the Vikings threatened to score a third goal as a shot hit the crossbar.
