• Directly off a Maia Giafes corner in the 41st minute, Vanessa Dunn blasted home a shot from the top-right wing for a 2-1 Notre Dame lead.
• Emily Houska (Shrewsbury, Pa./Susquehannock) was on the backside post to knock home a Madison Jamison (Davidsonville, Md./South River) shot-and-save to even the game just three minutes into the fourth quarter.
• A second Farrell penalty stroke just 1:46 later put the hosts back in front.
• Jamison gave the Green Terror insurance, knocking home a Jensyn Koontz (Hampstead, Md./North Carroll) pass with 5:46 to play.
