Both teams had a tough time gaining momentum starting the first half. The first 16 minutes were back-and-forth and the ball was kept close to the middle of the field until the Hawks broke it open with two quick goals.
 
Provost took the corner kick which was controlled by Quinn. Ali Waxgeiser (Harding, N.J.) headed a lobbed pass into the net past Bison goalie Brooke Downey.
