The Mavericks topped Eastern Oklahoma State College 4-2 to move to 2-0, and sit atop the conference standings. Northern wasted little time getting on the scoreboard just three minutes into the game as Milica Bulatovic broke in behind the Eastern defense and scored after receiving a pass from Marissa Neil. Moments later Janet Moreno would put the Mavs up 2-0 with a long shot that deflected off the Mountaineer goalkeeper before going in. Sofie Joergensen picked up the assist.
Northern started the second half in much the same way with an early goal from Milica Bulatovic. Janet Moreno found Bulatovic in front of the goal and slipped a pass in to her. Bulatovic's initial shot was saved by the Eastern goalkeeper, but the rebound came back to her, and she blasted the ball into the corner of the goal. It looked like the Mavs were going to cruise to the easy victory, but Eastern scored to make the score 3-1. Northern turned the ball over in their defensive third, and a Mountaineer player chipped the ball over Northern goalkeeper, Jaime Rowlands, for the goal. The Mavs responded with a goal two minutes later to go up 4-1. Again it was Bulatovic scoring for the Mavs after receiving a pass from Sofie Joergensen. The game seemed to be out of reach, but Eastern scored on a free kick against a group of mostly reserve players for the Mavs to make the final score 4-2.
"All the credit to the girls for picking up the win, but we have to play better," said coach Micahel Duroy. "Eastern outplayed us in the midfield. We couldn't put any passes together. We have to find a way to keep the ball or we will be in trouble in the upcoming games. We have a limited roster this spring so we really can't make any personnel changes. We have to coach them better, and they are going to have to play better. Milica is doing her part up front, but we can't rely on her to create all of our chances. Our flank players have to get more involved. On the bright side I thought our centerbacks Rachael Chatterji and Nadia Chavez played well."
