  • Consecutive goals from the visitors increased the Eagles' deficit to 11-2 with 14 minutes to go in the first half, but the Crimson & Gold battled back as Paige Mayers scored to make it 11-3 and Ashley Venit scored off a pass from Petersheim to cut the lead down to seven. Washington and Lee scored two more before the end of the half to take a nine-goal lead into the break.
  • The Generals extended their lead to 17-4 through the first half of the third quarter until Venit scored again with a helper from Mayers to make it a 17-5 game.

Petersheim added one more in the final minutes as the Generals walked away with a 19-7 victory.
