The Gators kept attacking the Golden Eagles' defense before finally scoring the game's first goal in the 54th minute. Sage's Taylor Lynch delivered a through ball to the feet of Samantha Trimblett who chipped a shot to the goal for the 1-0 lead.  Madison Spohr doubled Sage's lead,2-0, when she received a pass from Savannah Mason, and slot it home in the 70th minute.

With momentum on their side, the Gators were able to rally of two goals in a three minute span (83, 86) from both Lynch and Logan respectively, to down the Golden Eagles 4-0.

Freshman goalkeeper Juliana Cintron-Leonardo collected seven saves for the Golden Eagles, as Robataille tallied two saves.
