The Owls got on the board at the 56:09 mark as Wendy Malina notched the eventual game-winning goal. The scoring chance was set up by Charisma Wright who found Malina with a cross into the box. Malina then blasted a shot over keeper Lisa Eberhart and into the top shelf of the net.

Eberhart and classmates Maggie Hanna, Kerry O'Malley, Christine Nasca and Carrie Vance played in their final collegiate game.
