Veronica Venezia put Lebanon Valley back in the lead after finding the back of the net unassisted with 8:44 left in the half. Hood's Cassidy O'Neill tied it back up at 6-6 just 1:19 later. LVC took back the lead and would keep it for the remainder of the game after a goal from Jaclyn Little and Hathaway both assisted from Venezia. The Dutchmen entered into the second half leading 8-6.
