Julia Mulhern led the Saints with three shots on goal, while Emily Wade, Morgan Ryan, Isabel Silvia, Natani Kent-Earle and Olivia Goodwine each added one.

"Brilliant second half, but a not-so-brilliant first half," said head coach Sinead McSharry. "But the team never quit, and got better as the game went on, we just couldn't put it away. I'm proud of this team's growth and perseverance. RIT was a superb team and brought an intensity that we hadn't come up against prior to this. I think we've learned a lot about ourselves to take into next week."

Samantha Allen recorded one saves for the Scarlet and Brown, while Alyssa Salls made eight saves for RIT.

The Saints outshot the Tigers 11-9 and posted an 8-3 advantage in shots on goal. RIT took four corner kicks to the Saints' three.
