How It Happened
- Early in the second quarter, the Shorewomen were awarded a penalty stroke following a violation by the Hornets in the circle.  Esposito placed the shot into the left side of the cage to give the Shorewomen a 1-0 lead 1:48 into the second.
- The lead would beat short lived as Shenandoah tied it with 10:36 to go in the quarter, just 2:36 after Esposito's first tally, to tie it at 1-1.
- WC had all four shots in the fourth quarter, but could not find the back of the net and the game would go into overtime tied.
- In overtime, Washington had all six shots and were awarded a penalty corner with 7:32 to go in the extra frame.  The initial shot by MaryCate Anson went wide, but Samantha McMahon was able to get the loose ball.  McMahon's pass then found Thomson, who got the initial hit on the ball before Esposito got the final touch and put it into the empty cage for the walk-off score.
