In the first half, Immaculata outpossessed its guests for much of the opening 20 minutes of play but it was Haverford who found the back of the net first as the Fords tallied their first goal in the 15^th minute before adding a second tally just moments later in the 16^th minute. Haverford scored its final goal of the opening half in the 27^th minute off a well-placed cross from the far side of the field to claim a 3-0 lead heading to the halftime break.

In goal, Immaculata goalie Brooke Shissler played well through the opening 45 minutes making four big saves to slow the Haverford offense.

In the second half, Haverford added another goal during the 59^th minute to extend its lead to 4-0 over Immaculata. The Fords broke through again in the 66^th minute to move the score to 5-0 midway through the second half. Haverford added two more goals in the 81^st and 85^th minutes, respectively to prevail by a final of 7-0.
