The scoring continued as Kyla Hebert found the back of the net off a pass from Bethany Cohee. Bagapuro scored her first of five goals with 6:42 left in the quarter to force the Devils to take their first timeout with the score 4-0. The Dutchmen added four goals over the next three minutes starting with Shack's second goal of the game. Morgan then fed Cohee to make it 6-0.  Whisler added her second goal off another pass by DeWitt, and then Morgan fired a shot into the back of the cage to make it 8-0.
 
FDU-Florham held the Dutchmen scoreless for the final three minutes of the first quarter and the first three minutes of the second quarter before Hebert connected with DeWitt to push the advantage to nine. Morgan got the advantage to 10 and a running clock with 10:40 remaining in the half as DeWitt dished out her third assist of the game. Hannah Schneider scored a free-position goal before Bagapuro added a goal. Whisler completed her hat trick off an assist from Morgan to give the Dutchmen a 13-0 halftime lead.

Cohee scored her second goal off an assist by Schneider, and then Maddie Puleo scored off a pass from Whisler to push the advantage to 16. The Devils were able to get on the board on a goal with two minutes remaining in the quarter.
 
The Dutchmen responded with a Bagapuro goal 24 seconds into the fourth quarter. LVC kept firing shots at the net, and Bagapuro added a woman-down goal on a free position shot with a little over 10 minutes to play that made the score 18-1. The first-year scored again three minutes later, forcing FDU-Florham to call a timeout. The Devils scored with 5:45 left to cut the deficit to 19-2.
