Junior Alexa Lantiere broke the scoreless tie at the 33:03-mark in the first half as Hopkins capitalized on a corner. Off the corner, sophomore Elena Gresick who passed down to Parker, who dribbled towards the end line before hitting the ball across the mouth of the cage. Lantiere, who was open in the middle, redirected Parker's pass in to the cage to make it 1-0 Hopkins.

Freshman Liz Stillman gave the Blue Jays an insurance goal at 61:59 with her second of the season. Stillman's goal was a mirror image of Lantiere's in the first half.

Sarah Meszler had a great chance to get McDaniel on the board at 62:45 but Atabek made a nifty stick save to preserve the shutout.
