• The Prairie Stars nearly found the breakthrough literally seconds after the goal but Dylan Stockman's shot was saved by the Quincy goalkeeper.
• In the 58th minute, a Quincy foul gave the Prairie Stars a penalty kick, which Alejandro Inostroza tucked home to cut the deficit in half. It was his first-career goal at UIS.
• Both teams created chances down the stretch and both keepers were kept busy in the final half hour. Inostroza fired another shot on frame in the 73rd minute and freshman Grant Bauer's chance in the 79th minute was also saved as the Prairie Stars couldn't find the equalizing goal.
