Wilkes had an opportunity early on, when Cate Schoeniger (Collegeville, PA/Perkiomen Valley) had her shot saved, Kiana Jedlicka (Poughquag, NY/Arlington) went to take the rebound and try to score for the Colonels but was not able to make it past the goalie. Another Jedlicka shot later in the half was saved once again, along with Cesia Diaz (Belleville, NJ/Belleville). Lycoming would eventually pull away in the 87th minute with a corner kick that turned into a goal, giving the Warriors a 2-0 lead, they would keep intact in the final three minutes of the game.
