Mackin had a hand in six of JHU's goals during the run, which spanned just under 10 minutes. Smith scored after a turnover in transition to cap the run and put JHU up 16-7.
 
Gracie Driggs and Anne McGovern sandwiched goals around Smith's third of the game and it was 17-9 with 7:53 to play. DiCarlo got her second of the day, when she used a pick to get free and scored while going to the turf at 4:56. Exactly 60 seconds later, Case scored JHU's 19^th and final goal off a Hoss' helper. Steer had the final say of the game, scoring for the Hoyas to make it a 19-10 game with 2:50 to play.
