ITTA BENA, Miss. --- The Devilettes of Mississippi Valley State University conceded one goal in their 5-1 victory over the Alabama A & M University Lady Bulldogs.
AAMU scored the first goal of the contest within the first six minutes of the contest. It took the Devilettes a little longer to bring heat to the chilly Mississippi Delta night. Ernestina Abambila scored on a penalty kick at the 28:08 mark of the first half. Laadi Issaka scored again for Mississippi Valley 25-seconds later on a pass from Mariana Balbao.
 
Nykosi Simmons scored the first goal of the second on a cross by Heather Craddock. Mariana Balbao scored the final two goals for the Devilettes, with Simmons and Abambila earned the assists.
 
Goalkeeper Sydney Newport recorded three saves.
Head Coach N. Fabio Boateng stated, "We need to tighten up a little bit at the back. We're leaking so many goals, but the second period was fantastic soccer from the girls. We controlled every aspect of the game and nullified their threats."
