With both defenses applying suffocating pressure, the two sides retired at the half with a pair of zeroes on the scoreboard.
The second half started much like the first, with little offense, and much defense. However, Lock Haven was finally able to break the scoreless streak when Courtney Hughes scored off of a corner from Sarah Huber and the Lady Eagles were in front at the 51:57 mark. Just under four minutes later, Lock Haven struck again, this time as Renee Kemmerer found the back of the net to put the visitors in front 2-0.
Lehigh would not back down however, as Kelsey Smith scored her second collegiate goal off of a feed from senior Sheila Clabby and the Mountain Hawks were within one at the 66 minute mark. Unfortunately, Lehigh would run out of time and fell by a 2-1 count. Lehigh was outshot by the Lady Eagles 12-4 on the evening, and also had fewer corners (1) than its opponent (4).
