To open the game freshmen Caitlin May got the offense started with her first collegiate goal off the assist from Julia Leggett. With the 1-0 lead the Dolphins defense of Lauren Vetoulis, Alyssa Santeramo and Kora-Lynn McCullough shined and locked down the Beavers and gave their offense opportunity after opportunity. Despite solid goalkeeping from the Beavers the Dolphins would break through again on a penalty kick scored by Cristina Britton to give them a 2-0 lead with 14 minutes to play in the first half. The Dolphins would continue to keep pressure on the Beavers through the rest of the half which resulted in Britton netting her second goal with seven minutes remaining in the half to give the Dolphins a 3-0 lead. The defense would continue to shine and shutout the Beavers in the first half to take a 3-0 lead into the break.

The Dolphins came out ready to go in the second half firing of five shots in the opening 10 minutes.

The first was from CCNY on a penalty kick then the Dolphins answered immediately on Georgina Perdomo goal, Perdomo was assisted by Paulina Mandujano.
