The Dutchmen would open up the scoring just under five minutes into the game when Jaclyn Little connected on a free-position shot. Erika Bloes would answer for the Red Devils with a pair of goals to give Dickinson the lead at the 20:46 mark of the first half. After seven minutes of scoreless action, LVC would regain the lead with goals by Livia Jackson and Little to pull ahead, 3-2.

The Red Devils outshot the Dutchmen 19-14 in the opening half.
 
The Red Devils would tack on another goal just 38 seconds into the second half to push their lead out to six. Veronica Venezia would respond just 1:15 later to snap a Dutchmen scoreless streak of just over 13 minutes stretching back to the first half. Later, LVC would trail 11-4 before scoring three of the next four goals to cut the deficit to five with 14:45 left in regulation.
