Six minutes later Shannon Pereira (Toronto, Ontario, Canada/Francis Libermann Catholic) dribbled past defenders on the right side and found an open Elizabeth Momeyer (Harrison City, Pa./Penn Trafford) who scored her first goal of the season and put SFU up 2-0.

It was Carissa Makea (Auckland, New Zealand/Rosehill College) who scored a minute later off a penalty corner attempt with assists going to Adamshick and Nikki Snyder (Harveys Lake, Pa./Lake-Lehman). Wirth scored again at the 15:54 mark and Saint Francis was up 4-0 not even halfway through the first period.

Autumn Pellman (Millerstown, Pa./Greenwood) then scored back-to-back unassisted goals and Saint Francis took the 6-0 lead, which they would take into the halftime break.
Michelle Lipski (Shavertown, Pa./Lake-Lehman) scored her first collegiate goal to open the second half, Wirth and Adamshick picked up assists on the goal.

Colgate got on the board at the 41:56 mark and then trailed 7-1. Adamshick then set the new SFU single game scoring record at the 59:03 mark when she dribbled through defenders and beat the Raiders goalkeeper.
