The Mustangs channeled their offense in the middle of the half, scoring the next four goals to regain the lead, 5-3. Amanda Bowen, Samantha Basler, Shepard and Alexandria Milot each tallied for the Mount Ida. Callie Warnock (Kingston, Mass.) scored her first goal of the game to cut the lead to one off a pass from Oliveri but the Mustangs scored twice more before time expired to lead the Sharks at halftime, 7-4.

In the second half, the teams alternated scoring over the first twenty minutes as the Bowen, Milot and Basler added to the Mustangs lead and Gilbert, Warnock and Ali Stonehouse (Keene, N.H.) tallied for Simmons.

Down 10-3 with ten minutes remaining, the Sharks began to chip away the Mustangs lead, as Gilbert scored unassisted and Wallace buried a free position shot past Musty. With 1:15 remaining, Luke found Warnock in the arc, who then found the top corner to tie the game at ten.
