Senior forward Carly DiGiovanni (Seaville, N.J.) netted the first Griffins tally 43 seconds before intermission and after it was senior forward Kaelyn Pizarro (Berlin, N.J.) and senior midfielder Marykate McShane (Lebanon, Pa.) pushing the Griffins to a 3-0 lead by the 72-minute mark.
 
Wilmington University (5-6-1, 5-3-1) came on late, recovering from a 3-0 Chestnut Hill College (3-8-1, 3-4-1) advantage with goals in the 78^th, 85^th, and 90^th minute to force overtime. The Wildcats took the only two shots of the extra time. They scored on the second attempt when a corner kick restart found its way to senior midfielder Jordan Hoesli-Atkins (Middlesex, England) for the game-winning-goal. It was Hoesli-Atkins who sparked the Wildcat comeback at 77:56, finding the foot of senior midfielder Jenna Quaranta (Baltimore, Md.) after a long carry down the left side of the pitch, 3-1. Quaranta scored again at 84:27, this time touching a pass from senior midfielder Rachel Burley (Kingsville, Md.) to bring the deficit to one, 3-2. The game-tying goal came in the frantic final minute with freshman midfielder Sara Eggert (Hamilton, N.J.) locating freshman midfielder Kim Richer (Shamong, N.J.) at the right post with a long serve from the left side at 89:12, 3-3.
