- 15' - SVU's lone shot on goal came at the end of the quarter from Ellie Egnew, but Annika Thompson, making her first collegiate start, kicked the shot away for the save.
- 18' - After Longacre's shot was saved by SVU, the deflection went right to Zofeya Maldonado who put it past the keeper for a 2-0 lead. Later in the quarter, Hayley Collins got on the board, scoring on a penalty stroke, to give EMU a 3-0 lead at the half.
- A pair of goals in the third quarter, one from Kate Landis and another from Kaylin Ozuna, put the Royals in the driver's seat at 5-0. In the final frame, it was another pair of goals, this time from Kristen Andersen and Libbie Derstine, that gave EMU their final goal tally for the game.
