- The Devils registered the first goal of the game in the 25th minute as Madison Kleinwaks (Boonton, NJ) fed the ball to Tatiana Nieto (Clark, NJ) for the 1-0 lead. CMSV answered with a strike of its own six minutes later after Amanda Cotroneo slipped the ball through the FDU defense to the feet of Alicia Rodriguez.
- With less than three minutes to play in the opening half, Nieto found Angelique Mueller (Blackwood, NJ) as the Devils took a 2-1 lead into the break.
Second Half:
- An unassisted strike by Madison Rosa (Linden, NJ) from 25 yards out paired with a goal off the head of Carly Santucci (Middlesex, NJ) gave FDU the 4-1 victory. Francesca Escudero (Bridgewater, NJ)was credited with the assist on Santucci's goal off the corner kick.
At the end of 90 minutes, FDU held a 24-4 advantage in shots and a 5-1 edge in corners. Neither Paulino nor
Erica Blackburn (Marlboro, NJ), who split time in net for FDU, had to make a save while the goalkeeping duo from CMSV stopped the ball six times.
