- It only took a minute and eight seconds out of the locker room for Detroit Mercy to strike again to take a 2-0 advantage.
- The two sides played a scoreless match over the final 44 minutes of the match as DMU collected a victory in the Horizon opener.
 
FOR THE FOES

- Soraya Puerto-Khalil also notched a tally for the Titans.
- Scott Jazmine turned aside two shots to pick up the clean sheet.
