Not shortly after Taya Dukes got her first goal of the season 2:20 into the game. Late in the first quarter, a defensive ground ball from Katrina Clarke pushed the fast break for the Bombers, followed by an unlucky save, however Scallon was able to find the back of the net with 30 seconds left in the quarter with the Bomber leading, 5-3. 

In the second quarter, Aubrey Holowinski assisted by Kelly Augeri netted her first career goal making the score 6-4 with 11:41 remaining in the half. Augeri then gave IC their seventh goal as she netted one of her own. Brockport was able to keep the Bomber lead within two as the score shifted to 7-5 with 2:55 in the half.
