Diana Bruggeman answered back for Wentworth (7-6-2, 2-4-1 CCC) just over a minute later with a goal to the low right side. Martin booted a shot off the crossbar and in in the 51st minute to give the Nor'easters back the lead. In the 58th minute, Martin found Lizzie Frattaroli for a goal as Frattaroli found the back of the net from 25 yards out to put UNE in front 3-1.

The Leopards trimmed the deficit to 3-2 in the 75th minute as a shot by Madison Wolf deflected off Ariel Martin and in. Adriana Valenti and Maria Selman assisted on the goal.
