Two minutes later Carly Leipzig put one on target from the left side, but Sydney Wootten made the easy save.

The first shot for the Pack came in the 21^st minute when Tziarra King found an opening from the top of the box, but goalkeeper Alexis Bryant managed to keep the score level.

The Eagles broke the deadlock in the 35^th minute when Sam Coffey's shot from the right side hit the left post and went into the net off a pass from Jenna Bike. Two minutes later Olivia Vaughn scored on a breakaway, as she took the ball from the midfield down into the box and finished to the bottom right corner of the net.

BC opened the second half with three shots and a corner in the first 10 minutes. In the 60^th minute Gaby Carreiro was brought down in the box, awarding the Eagles a penalty Kick. Kayla Jennings took the kick but Wootten made the crucial save to keep the score 2-0.

After BC produced a shot in the 62^nd minute off a pair of corners, King, Kia Rankin and Ricci Walkling recorded a combined four shots over the next 18 minutes. Wootten was once again tested in the final 10 minutes of regulation, as Boston College put two of three straight shots on frame but she saved them.

In the 86^th minute the Pack had a last chance to put a tally on the board, as King was brought down in the box to award her team a penalty kick. Walkling took the shot but it was saved.
