However, Cairn (7-6-1) freshman goalkeeper Isabelle Lazor (Midland Park, NJ / Eastern Christian) turned all three shots away to keep the game tied. The Cyclones broke through in the 39^th minute after getting a shot past Lazor to make it 1-0, a lead Centenary took into intermission. Cairn knotted the game up at 1-1 in the 62^nd minute when junior Rachel Yoder (Telford, PA / Souderton) deposited a free kick into the lap of an awaiting senior Dakota Hitchner (Ocean View, NJ / Atlantic Christian) who took two touches and scored. Centenary quickly got the lead back just three minutes later with a goal in the 65^th minute and Cairn was unable to answer for the remainder of the contest.
 
Centenary held the edge in shots (16-8), while the Highlanders bested the Cyclones in corner kicks (3-1). Lazor made six saves in a complete game effort.
