A Sydney Pappas goal followed, off a pass from Alexa Tsahalis, which tied things at 2-2 midway through the opening frame. Maryland would go on a five-goal run bridging the first and second periods.

With the deficit 7-2, the Ridgefield, Connecticut native Curnal ripped her second goal of the game to stop the Maryland run. After three goals from Maryland, senior Olivia Piccrilli scored her sixth goal of the season to make the score 10-4. Curnal notched her third of the game and assisted on a Sami Carey goal late in the third period. The Terrapins took a 13-6 lead into the fourth period.

In the final frame, Jenna Pastore scored on a woman-up opportunity, off a dish from Pappas. Maryland would score the game's final six goals.
