A second goal at 41:28 from Megan Kida, her first of the season, secured La Salle's lead in the second half. Barely a minute later, at 42:03, Kida sent a pass to Devin Muracco, who scored La Salle's third goal of the game and her third on the season.

The Explorers led the charge and allowed just one goal in the second half at 56:37 into play, when the Rams finally got onto the board with a goal from McKenzie Boweler. La Salle held the Rams down for the rest of the game, to secure their third Atlantic 10 victory.
