Lafayette outscored Wagner 4-1 thereafter to seal the deal. Annie Madden and Elmen's goals were followed up by a pair from Albrecht, including the dagger with one second on the clock before time expired.

The Maroon and White held the advantage in draw controls (14-11) and ground balls (24-21) while Wagner attempted more shots (30-28). The Leopards cleared 17-of-20 compared to the Seahawks 14-of-17. Wagner's goalkeeper, Grace DeCarolis, made eight saves.
