It took just over a minute and a half for the Dragons to open the scoring. Drexel earned a corner on its first attack of the game.

The Hawks evened the score halfway through the second quarter, converting on a corner of their own.

In the second half, the Hawks took the lead five minutes into the quarter using another corner opportunity. After the insert, the ball was dished without looking, and the shot was then deflected into the goal to put Monmouth ahead.

Five minutes later, Drexel evened the score once more. Fleur Hamers received a cross from Lemoine, who had stolen the ball seconds prior. Hamers had a wide-open look on goal and finished the shot for her fourth goal of the season.

After 60 minutes, the score remained at two and went into overtime. After a minute and a half of overtime play, Monmouth found its way to the cage and finished the play to end the contest.
