The match began with even vollies between the respective ends of the turf as the two teams sought control. With 19:20 remaining in the first half, sophomore midfielder Michelle Fogle netted the first goal of the day. The goal came after a flurry of quick shots and rebounds following a penalty corner for the Chippewas with Fogle's shot finding its way between the pipes.

The duel continued between the two squads with freshman midfielder Carin Boone (Loveland, Ohio / Ursuline) receiving a smooth pass from sophomore Ellen Rapp (St. Louis, Mo. / Ursuline) and earning the goal with 4:35 left in the half.
