In addition to the two goals, LaPlaca also had a ground ball and won two draw controls. Morgan Arakelian had a goal and two assists and Bella Hillman also scored for the Scarlet and Brown. Haley Sundstrom won three draw controls, while Kelsey O'Brien led St. Lawrence defensively with five ground balls and three caused turnovers. 

William Smith got the first five goals of the game, and it wasn't until five minutes in that the Saints got on the board from a free-position shot by Bella Hillman. Morgan Arakelian ended the quarter scoring with 12 seconds remaining, but the Saints trailed 9-2 after the first 15 minutes. 

After a couple of Heron goals in the second, the Saints went on a run of their own. Arakelian set up top-scorer Evans for her first goal of the day. Sixty seven seconds later, Evans got another goal and Arakelian got another assist on the play, giving the senior 27 assists on the year. A minute and a half later, LaPlaca scored the fifth goal. William Smith responded with two goals to end the half, taking a 13-5 lead into the locker room. 

The Saints failed to score in the third, while the Herons added four to their total, opening a 17-5 lead.
