Off a penalty corner, Rider took an early 1-0 lead with 8:42 remaining in the first when Valeria Perales sent a goal into the back of the net off a pass from Megan Normile.

Perales added her second score of the game in the second, making it 2-0 in favor of the Broncs at the 18:03 mark.

Early in the third, Siena De Roeck got the Skyhawks on the scoreboard with a goal off a penalty corner. Mary Collins set up the goal with the assist, cutting the Stonehill deficit to 2-1 at 31:01. Minutes later, De Roeck capitalized on a penalty stroke, tying the game, 2-2, at 36:50 with her second goal of the half.

Later in the third, off another corner, Havana De Roeck got her own rebound off a shot and put it back for a goal that beat Rider goalkeeper Jade Regnart to put Stonehill in front, 3-2, at 41:57.

Midway through the fourth, Normile converted on a penalty stroke to knot the game, 3-3, with 6:30 remaining in regulation.
