How It Happened
- Muhlenberg struck 12:16 into the match when O'Brien stole a clearing attempt by the Shorewomen and her chip shot from 15 yards out from the right side went over the head of Washington goalie Courtney Colbert to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. 
- Washington had a chance to level the match 1:57 later, but Cayla Marcinko's shot was stopped by Marissa D'Alessandro.
- O'Brien struck again just 5:11 after her first goal when she received a Casarah Morales pass and her shot from the top of the 18 found its way into the lower left corner to give the Mules a two-goal lead.
- The Shorewomen got one back with 10:22 remaining in the first half when Arianna Sabatino knocked in a pass from Marcinko at the six to cut the Mules' lead to 2-1 and that would be the halftime score.  Also picking an assist on the goal was Sara Douglas who passed the ball to Marcinko.
- In the second half, Muhlenberg had two chances to extend its lead in the 79th minute, but the shot by Karolyn Kawa was just high over the crossbar and a header by Danni Steigerwald was just wide to the right.
