Both teams took a scoreless tie into the end of half as UMW had one shot on net that was saved by a Lynchburg defender, who headed the ball out of the net. Eagles' keeper Morgan Hicok recorded a pair of saves for UMW in the half.

Wednesday's lone score came off of a corner kick in the 63rd minute that found the right foot of the Hornet forward that gave Lynchburg a 1-0 lead. Mary Washington had three shots saved in the second half, unable to find the equalizer.
