Colleen Ferrarese sent a crossing pass Emerson McDonald in front of the Shorewomen net. After McDonald's first shot was saved, the Meg Balerna fired a second shot into the back of the net to tie the game. The goal was Balerna's third score of the season, while McDonald was credited with her assist of the fall.

In the 68th minute, McDonald found the back of the cage by rocketing a shot from distance to put the Diplomats ahead, 2-1. The score was McDonald's fifth goal of the season and second game-winning goal of the year.

With 1:09 remaining in the contest, the game was called due to lightning in the area.
