In the closing minutes of the first quarter, Lasell came back with a goal of their own. Sam Taylor maneuvered her way through the RWU defense and scored a back-handed shot to tie the game.
 
Lasell struck again three minutes into the third when Taylor found the loose ball in front of the goal and lifted a shot for a 2-1 Laser lead.
 
The Hawks settled down quickly and responded with a goal just over two minutes later. A penalty corner from Brooklyn Cenatiempo went straight to Alex Coppinger who launched a shot just inside the circle for a goal.
 
With just under two minutes remaining in the third, the Hawks found the back of the net for what would be the game-winning goal. Lauren Deering found Cenatiempo who dodged the Lasers defenders and wound up a shot and scored.
