HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST EASTERN

- After forcing an early turnover on downs, Immaculata moved the ball behind the legs of Devan Cosgrove and Tiara Lawler, but a fourth-down stop deep in Eastern territory halted the opening momentum. Moments later, Eastern capitalized with a quick touchdown drive to take a 6–0 lead midway through the first quarter.
- The visitors added another score late in the opening period and extended the lead to 25–0 by halftime, converting multiple Immaculata miscues into points.
- In the second half, Immaculata found themselves in Eastern territory multiple times, including a late drive in the fourth quarter that reached the 3-yard line, but were unable to break through and score.
