For the rest of the half the scored remained the same. WWCC had some close calls with Claire Morales and Maylee Thompson getting shots on goal. In the goal, the Mustangs played all three keepers with each keeper getting 30 minutes of play. Madeline Kendrick started in goal, with Markell Freeman playing the next 30 minutes and Lindsey Lemmons finishing off the match. The score at the halftime intermission was WWCC 1 and NJC 0.
In the second half WWCC continued to win most of the possession but had a difficult time finding the correct combination to score another goal. The WWCC defense continued to keep NJC's attack at bay and keep the clean sheet. In the 86th minute Emma Barnes took a free kick near the corner of the field and placed it directly over the NJC keeper into the top right corner. The second goal for Emma on the day sealed the victory for the Mustangs. All three keepers shared the shutout on the day. Today's victory lifts the WWCC 2018 record to 2 - 4 - 0 on the season.
