- Mount Aloysius was able to fight off the last four Behrend shots of the half, going into the second down 0-4. 
- The second half was reminiscent of the first, with Jasmine Hinton (Huntingtown, MD, Huntingtown) taking the only Mountie shot attempt of the half.

- Mount Aloysius pushed back strongly, shooting eleven times throughout the half, five of which came from header attempts on crosses through the goal box.
