The first shot on goal resulted in the first goal of the game. In the 30th minute, Case Western Reserve had a deflected strike trickle into the NYU goal. The Spartans had a second goal in the back of the net a couple of minutes later, but it was ruled out by a foul on midfielder Allie Wall.

Goalkeeper Maddy Tohanczyn made a great save off of a direct free kick from Ceci Dapino of Case Western two minutes later to keep it a one goal game. Case Western Reserve continued to knock on the Violet's door, as Izzy Probst hit the post in the 66th minute. 

Case Western made it 2-0 in the 78th minute off of a goal from Alexis Sassower. Tohanczyn could not keep the ball out after making numerous saves in the half.

Sari Frankl had a shot saved in the 80th minute, but could not convert the chance. Julia Spang also had a shot saved from a direct free kick five minutes later. 

The Violets were outshot 16-10, including 6-3 for shots on goal. Tohanczyn ended the game with three saves.
