Alex Zielinski scored twice to give the Gators a 2-1 lead, but Ohio Wesleyan answered with its 5-0 run, evening the game on a goal by freshman midfielder Sarah Hanley (Farmington, Mich.) and taking the lead on Douglas's goal with 13:45 left in the first half.  Douglas closed out the run with a goal with 1:16 remaining in the period, giving the Bishops a 6-2 lead at the half.

Allegheny opened the second half with scores by Zielinski and Taylor Vigneri to pull within 6-4, but the Gators would not come closer than that 2-goal margin.  Douglas set up one goal and scored another to extend the Bishop lead to 8-4, and after Allegheny closed to within 8-6 on Brenna Lawler's goal with exactly 10 minutes to play, it was sophomore defender Stephanie DeSoto (Sylmar, Calif./Harvard-Westlake School) with a goal to push the lead back to 3.
