In the 16th minute, East Stroudsburg (3-2-1, 1-2-1 PSAC) got on the board after receiving the first corner attempt of the match.

Freshman Kelsey Mattola evened the score in the 36th minute when she broke away from two East Stroudsburg defenders. Sophomore Kiersten McLennan fed a through-pass to Mattola to escape the defense. Mattola ripped it past the goalkeeper to knot the game at 1-1 heading into the break.
