Lauren Farver broke the deadlock 5:13 into the second half. Olivia Robertson '12 skipped a pass into the box where Farver controlled the ball, turned to her left and fired a shot from 15 yards out past the diving goalkeeper.  Farver almost scored in the first half on a long shot from outside the box, but Meghan Sleezer tipped the ball over the crossbar.

Sleezer finished with six saves, including five in the first half. Kate Fowler  stopped four shots for her third shutout this year and the fifth of her career for the Continentals. Fowler lowered her goals against average to 0.86 and raised her save percentage to .825.
