SHU (5-6) had the first opportunity of the game as Liz Bergman sent a shot from a penalty corner wide in the ninth minute. Less than three minute later Maine (5-6) got on the board with their first shot of the game as Annabelle Hamilton scored off of a direct shot from a penalty corner. The Black Bears made it 2-0 in the 19^th minute when Danielle Aviani beat Sacred Heart goalkeeper Mary Altepeter. 

The Pioneers came close to cutting the deficit in half in the 20^th minute on another Bergman shot from a penalty corner, but Maine goalkeeper Emily Corbett held strong in net to preserve the lead. The game was moments away from a 2-0 halftime score when the Black Bears scored a goal three seconds from the break. Holly Stewart received a long pass from Becca Paradee and beat Altepeter one-on-one to take a 3-0 lead into the half.

Harrison attempted to spark a SHU comeback in the 41^st when she scored into an empty net after Corbett misplayed the ball to cut the deficit to 3-1 but the Pioneers would only manage one more shot on net the rest of the contest.

The Black Bears outshot Sacred Heart 13-6 for the game and had a 7-4 edge in penalty corners. Altepeter stopped five shots in defeat, while Corbett only needed to record two saves for the victory.
