Katie Diem (Fairport/Niagara University) made a pass from below the goal line to Kayla Persinger (Youngstown/Newark Ironbound 19UAAA) at the left faceoff circle. Persinger centered a pass to Mahoney in the slot, who juked the Morrisville goalie and flipped a shot into the net for the goal.

McKenzie Brown (Peru/Lovell Academy) keep the puck in the Cortland offensive zone at the right point and made a pass to the middle of the ice to Nolan. Nolan was shoved to the ice by a Morrisville defender, but was able to muscle the puck over to the left point to Dinsmore, who wristed a shot into the top right corner of the goal for her first collegiate goal. 
 
Mahoney netted her second goal of the game shortly after on a wrist shot in front of goal after a feed from below the goal line by Drew Kopek (Rome/Syracuse Valley Eagles U19). Fanny Aneborn (Linkoping, Sweden/Lulea HF Sweden) was credited with the secondary assist on the goal.

Under six minutes into the third period, Nolan tallied her second goal in the last three games to give Cortland a 4-0 lead. The freshman intercepted a pass from a Morrisville defender below the goal line, skated to the front of the net, and flipped a backhanded shot past the goaltender for the goal. 
 
With 11 minutes remaining, Gillodes was called into action to make her best save of the contest, a flashy glove save to deny Morrisville on a 2-on-1 break. 
 
Cortland committed a penalty in the final four minutes of the game, but Gillodes was able to secure the shutout by making four saves on the Morrisville power play.
