Defender Kirsten Welsh sent the Colonials’ second goal of the game flying past Lindenwood’s goaltender at 1:16 in the second. She was assisted by Katherine Murphy and Amber Rennie. The goal was scored at even strength.

Robert Morris then suffered an unfortunate penalty at 4:50 in the second, but were able to kill it off.
