Junior forward Cliona Crammond (Wicklow, Ireland) scored the Lightning's first goal on the very first shot of the contest, successfully landing a strike from 30 yards out just inside the right post at 3:23, 1-0. After a responsorial shot by junior midfielder Molly Sullivan (Pasco, Wash.) missed its mark (4:27), Chestnut Hill College (0-4, 0-2) endured a flurry of Goldey-Beacom College (4-0-1, 3-0) assaults that ended with a 10-yard finish from freshman forward Alanna Speaks (Wilmington, Del.) at 13:52, 2-0.
