Edgewood College came into the second half with lots of energy, as Shannon Kaufmann, Carrie Radomsky, Lauren Clark, Mari Hubanks, Mady Warda, and Cassidy Johnson all took shots in the first 28 minutes. The Eagles spent a good part of the second half taking on the Spartan defense.

The Eagles held the Spartans at one until the 76th minute, when Freshman Ariana Hopewell score her first goal as a Spartan. With the Eagles trailing the Spartans 2-0 a defensive battle ensued, as the Eagles held off the final five shots taken by Aurora.
