Hanover got on the board first in the 23rd minute, quickly followed by an answer from Capital just a minute later. Snider was the one to score, taking a pass from Nicole Ogden and sending it soaring into the top right corner of the goal to tie the game at 1-1.

The remaining four goals of the game would all be scored within the first 15 minutes of the second half. Hanover put in two in the 53rd and 56th minutes, again followed by a quick answer from CU.
