Penn State Altoona got on the board at 80:30, when Smith pulled the trigger on a shot off of Chambers' cross into the box. Smith's shot found the back of the net, narrowing Mount Aloysius' advantage to 3-1.

The Mounties held a narrow edge over Penn State Altoona in shot attempts (12-10), and they also led 8-3 in shots on goal. The teams were tied in corner kicks with two apiece.

Smith finished her night with five shot attempts, including two shots on goal. Ainsley Griffin (Stafford, VA/Mountain View) took three shots, putting one on goal.
