The Greyhounds started scoring in the fourth minute when Van Buskirk netted her first goal off a pass from junior forward Tori Poliskiewicz.

Poliskiewicz would put the Greyhounds up 3-0 at the 20th minute off a rebound shot from freshman forward Erica Worthington. Duffin would net her second goal of the game when she took it in the box and blasted a shot past the goalie. Senior midfielder Selena Agnor would add another goal for Moravian off an assist from freshman forward Taylor Holly in the 33rd minute.
