Two of Ithaca's three seniors connected on the fourth goal of the half as Olivia Salindong sent a pass to Caitlin O'Brien on a penalty corner attempt with 8:09 to go.

Ithaca's final score of the game came with 16:10 left in regulation on the second goal from Donohue. Senior Laurel Shnider sent in a long pass through the zone where Donohue was waiting to tip the ball into the net. The assist for Shnider was the first of her career.
