Following the second goal, the Maroons switched keepers, but the Eagles kept up the intensity on the offensive end. At the 8:42 mark of the first half, senior Kelly Ryan took a pass from Caroline Augsburger off of a corner insert and found the back of the net to build the Bridgewater lead to 3-0.

Just over seven minutes later, junior Jennifer Tompkins pushed the Bridgewater advantage to seven goals when she put a shot in off of a chip shot with 42:42 to play in the contest.

Roanoke finally got on the board at the 63:51 mark when Lianna Hachborn stuck a shot in the back of the cage to put the Maroons on the board and chip the Bridgewater lead to 7-1.
