The Blue Jays took over midway through the quarter recording their first goal of the game at 11:48. From the top of the arch Long found Noel for a straight shot into the goal. Etown was quick to act in the second quarter as
Bridges dribbled around the goalie for the Jays second goal.  At the half, Etown led Catholic, 2-0.

To start the third quarter the Cardinals earned a corner before the rest of the quarter was all Blue Jays. In the 34^th minute and 40^th minute Etown tacked on two more goals. Bridges scored her second before Long assisted Hoy on Etown's fourth goal.

In the fourth quarter with just under ten minutes remaining, Myers lifted the ball above the defense past the Cardinals goalie. With just three minutes left in the game, Catholic scored their lone goal.
