• The Hornets matched the Blue Devils' offense in the second and third quarters. Gotz and Genesys Spann broke through the CCSU defense within about 15 seconds of one another. Kristin Sims scored on a man-up goal, courtesy of an assist from Downing, who got her own man-up score later in the quarter. The Hornets ended the half with a successful clear. CCSU led 12-5 going into the locker room.
• McMasters collected both of her goals in the third quarter. One was on a man-up situation, while the other was assisted by Gotz.

The Blue Devils scored twice more to extend their advantage to 14-7.
• A Gotz goal at 12:26 remaining snapped a 2-0 CCSU fourth-quarter run. Although London Stewart and Lamyra Rodriguez both added to Delaware State's offensive totals, the latter of which was on a Dylan Wilkes dime, the Blue Devils won 20-10.
