Less than a minute into play, Maguire nailed the first goal of the day for the Warriors (3-4 overall) from inside the goal crease. The scoring picked up on both sides with the Bearcats (5-2 overall) notching two goals before Baldwin was able snag the ground ball before scoring on a shot from the left post. Maguire quickly followed with her second goal on a free position shot before the Bearcats scored three to end the quarter.
 
The Warriors countered another quick tally by the Bearcats with a seven-goal run through the end of the second quarter and into the second half. Arnold kicked off the run with a free position shot with Maguire following, shooting from just outside the crease. Cranmer was next, sending the ball over the shoulder of the Bearcats goalkeeper. Arnold took another turn finding the back of the net with a tip-in shot. Cranmer ended the first half on a man-up opportunity from the right of the goal arch.
 
Stocker opened the second half, posting a goal from the top of the crease just 39 seconds into play. Cranmer's third goal of the day came off a quick shot coming through the Bearcats' defense. Stocker topped off the quarter after two goals from the Bearcats on an underhanded shot, gaining the possession from Block who ran the ball in off the draw control.
 
Baldwin's second goal was a free position opportunity in the final quarter with Block scoring two minutes later with the Warriors final goal. The Warriors held on for the win, 13-11, despite the Bearcats' offense bringing the team within two goals in the last three minutes.
