It was a two-goal game at halftime as LVC outscored the Jays 5-4 in each of the first two quarters. Lebanon Valley (2-4) went up 2-0, but Deiaco and Kendall Ulmer scored consecutively to tie the game at 2-2 with nearly half the first quarter played. Gress provided her first of five helpers in the game Deiaco's opening goal for Elizabethtown (3-4).

LVC led 5-3 with under 30 seconds to go, but Deiaco scored again with 15 seconds left to put it at 5-4 heading into the second.

The Dutchmen couldn't pull away as their lead got no more than two during the second.

LVC led by two goals after three. Etown did finish the quarter out with a goal to keep it a two-goal margin as Deiaco recorded her lone assist on Gress' goal to make it 15-13.

The fourth was all LVC as they outscored Elizabethtown 8-1 to take a commanding lead and get the win 23-14.
