It was senior forward Maya Leach who found the back of the net off an assist from Cara Churchill to secure the game-winning goal and put the Raiders up 1-0. Saint Joseph's (Me.) continued to pressure the Raider defense but was unable to break through due to Olivia Rosario's strong performance between the sticks.
