Silvia made a one-touch pass to O'Hara, who ran past the defenders and fired the ball past Skylar Williams to take the 1-0 lead.

With three minutes and 18 seconds left to go in the first half, Emma Reynolds put the Scarlet and Brown up 2-0. Lauren Arthaud had the ball in the offensive zone and found an open Reynolds down the field. The sophomore sidestepped the Roos defense and took a long range shot from outside of the box which went off the crossbar and in for the 2-0 advantage.

Less than 10 minutes into the first half the Saints scored once again to increase their lead to 3-0. First-year Alyvia Ronning fired a long pass into the box that was knocked down by a Canton defender and was flicked by Silvia. The ball bounced to O'Hara, who buried the scoring chance for her second goal of the game. Silvia tallied her second assist of the game on the play.

The senior centered a pass to Grace Wagshul, who scored her first career goal to put the Saints up 4-0. Ishikawa earned her first career assist on the scoring play.

Ishikawa was not done as less than four minutes later she would score her first career goal. Schock tapped a pass to O'Hara, who sent a long pass towards Ishikawa as she made a run for the goal. The pass connected with Ishikawa, who flicked the ball past the keeper to extend the lead to five. 

St. Lawrence's final tally came with 10 seconds left on the clock. Sophomore Grace Bridge received her first career assist as she made a pass to O'Hara, who immediately sent a cross into the box. Silvia was on the other end of the cross as she headed the ball off a defender and in for the goal.
