Hartwick outshot the Soaring Eagles, 25-2, including a 13-1 lead in shots on goal, and held a 6-0 advantage in corner kicks. Elmira's defense did a solid job in the opening 45 minutes to slow down the Hartwick offense, as EC limited the Hawks to just five first-half shots.

Pine's strike came in the 25th minute, while Boucher tallied hers in the 43rd minute. Rachel Weir and Maggie Rogers were credited with assists on the first-half goals.
