The Dragons kicked things off with a goal from Alex Wall, who scored just in front of the crease from the dish from Bednarik to take the early lead. The Seawolves answered just 30 seconds later off a tally from Kailyn Hart, scoring her 50th goal on the year to make it even at one.

Drexel rebounded thanks to a free-position goal from Allison Drake to regain the lead. Anna Maria Gragnani followed with another, cutting right in front of the goalie to extend the lead to two. Stony Brook's Alex Finn hit the back of the net at the 3:56 mark to cut the deficit to one. Bednarik scored for the first time in the game off the free-position shot, and Masera added one for the Seawolves to give Drexel the 4-3 at the end of the first.

After the Dragons started the second quarter off hot with a free position goal from Weygand, the Seawolves went on to score six straight goals, including two from Marera in the frame to go into the half up 9-5.

Stony Brook opened the half with their seventh straight goal.
