In the 49th minute the lone goal of the match was scored. Graca scored her second goal of the season on a pass in the goal area from Alanna Shaw and put a shot just past the reach of Wesmen goalkeeper Justina Jarmoszko.

Manitoba came close to scoring again soon after. In the 51st minute a header by Sara Schur was stopped by Jarmoszko to keep the Bisons lead to 1-0.

Winnipeg had a glorious chance to tie the match in the 89th minute. Daniel Bulloch was alone at the side of the net and got a quick shot off but Bisons goalkeeper Madison Wilford came up with the save of the match to preserve the 1-0 Manitoba victory.

The Duckworth Challenge Players of the Match were Maeghan Lindsay (Winnipeg) and Madison Wilford (Manitoba).

Manitoba and Winnipeg will both head to the West Coast next week to take on Trinity Western and Fraser Valley.
