The Mountaineers returned to the Berea Sports Complex on October 5 for a non-conference matchup with Mississippi University for Women that ended in a 1–1 draw. Berea dominated possession and chances, outshooting MUW 14–4 and generating four corner kicks. Danitza Roldan would capitalize on a mistake by the goalkeeper in the 33rd minute, giving Berea a first-half lead. MUW equalized late in the 89th minute when Asia Glass found the net following a thrown in to deny Berea the win. Goalkeeper Addison McLaughlin made one save, while Jessica Powell, Kristin Fischli, and Sara Knight led a persistent offensive effort that produced eight shots on goal.
