Just over nine minutes into the third quarter, Sauve gave the Mountain Hawks the 2-0 lead on another penalty corner off an assist from sophomore Zoe Day. The goal was Sauve's second of the year.

Wagner was awarded a penalty stroke with three minutes remaining in the game and Emma Lofstedt capitalized to decrease Lehigh's lead to 2-1.

The Seahawks controlled momentum in the final minutes, recording three shots in the last minute. Junior goalkeeper Jenny Canoni came up big for the Mountain Hawks, making a critical save to secure Lehigh 2-1 victory.
