Midway through the first half Roberts Wesleyan took the lead on an unassisted goal by Maura Hayes (Cherry Creek, NY). On a scrum in front of RIT's net Hayes gathered in the loose ball and tipped it in for the goal and a 2-1 halftim lead.

Just after halftime the Raiders added a third goal when Legault fed Shanelle Balfour (Rochester, NY) on a nifty cross. Legrault found some open space in RIT's defense. She fed a nice pass that found Balfour who just had to one-time it past Yehle for a 3-1 Raiders lead.
