After MSUB extended to a 2-0 lead in the 53rd minute, Hill got off a pair of shots, including one on goal, in the 54th and 57th minute. A Hammer shot in the 65th minute, followed by back-to-back looks in from Brassard and Hammer in the 77th and 78th minute kept the pressure on MSUB until the team was able to break through with a Warren goal in the 79th minute.

The Yellow Jacket offense kept pressing, getting one more shot off in the final minute, but would ultimately run out of time as the game went final 2-1 in favor of MSUB.
