The defense was led by sophomore goalkeeper Olivia Leo (Dunmore, Mass.) who had 2 saves in the game.

Presque Isle's offense started strong in the start of the game when sophomore Rylee Kinney (Presque Isle, Me.) assisted junior Alexis Ireland (Howland, Me.) in the only goal in the 8th minute. The defense held strong for the remainder of the game for the Owls with senior Savannah Rodriguez (Presque Isle, Me.) as the goalkeeper having 9 saves in the game for UMPI.
