Mullins' score in the game's first minute was her fifth of the season. EU carried the lead into the intermission, but broke it open with two goals in the second half. Coates assisted Lidija Baraiskas in the 57th minute, while Bachouras's sister Lee had the helper on Mullins' second goal of the game.

Brandeis got 10 saves overall, four from each of their two netminders. Junior Francine Kofinas (Dix Hills, N.Y./Half Hollow Hills West) allowed one goal in the first half, while rookie Michelle Savuto (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) gave up two in the second. The Judges also had a pair of saves as defenders cleared the ball off the line. Sophomore Mary Shimko (Bay Village, Ohio/Lake Ridge Acad.) led Brandeis with three shots overall, one on goal.
