How It Happened
- After a scoreless first half which saw each team take one shot, Catholic was awarded a penalty corner 35 seconds into the third quarter.
Kellie Caputo's corner eventually found Shallow on the right side and the pass was redirected from about six yards out by Micciche eight ticks later.
- Washington's
Alexis Tackney got the home team's first shot on goal in the game with 6:10 left in the third quarter, but was saved by
Abigail Kearney. It would be 1-0 entering the fourth stanza.
- In the fourth quarter, the Cardinals had two shots on target early in the frame, but both got saved by
Charlotte Schurman.
- The Shorewomen's last chance off of a penalty corner came with 4:18 left in the game on a shot by Tackney, but it went just wide to the right. It was the final shot of the game for either side as the teams combined for just 10 shots on the night.
