Duke scored the final two goals of regulation to tie the game, rallying from a 10-5 deficit, to force overtime. Annie Marshall converted an eight-meter shot at 8:26 to put Hopkins up 11-9, but back-to-back Carly Bernstein goals in the final 4:10 knotted the score at 11. The Blue Devils won the draw to open overtime, but the Jays forced a turnover and cleared. After working the ball around, Lacey Downey found Mackin at the 12-meter arc, she dodged toward the cage, dropped her stick and beat Kennedy Everson low.
 
It didn't look like overtime would be necessary early as Hopkins raced out to a 7-1 lead in the opening quarter. Mackin opened the scoring when she took a pass from Downey, turned on the doorstep and scored from in-tight just 90 seconds in.

Bella Goodwin got Duke on the board at 4:20 with a free position goal, but Hopkins answered with a pair of Mackin scores to take a 7-1 lead into the second. The Blue Devils turned the tables in the second, scoring three unanswered to cut the Blue Jays' lead to 7-4 at the half. Duke picked up where it left off, getting a Eva Pronti goal just 31 seconds in to make it a 7-5 game.
 
Angello halted the run with back-to-back goals, followed by a Downey power-play goal where she picked the back post to stake Hopkins to a 10-5 lead with 6:52 to play in the third. Ava Biancardi responded with an unassisted tally at 2:34 to spark a 4-0 Duke run. Bernstein then scored to close the third and open the fourth and the lead was 10-8. Goodwin punctuated the run with her third of the afternoon to make it just a one-goal game with 11:43 to play. Marshall pushed the lead back to two with her free position goal, but those two Bernstein goals would force the overtime.
