Eastern (2-1) scored nine straight goals in the first half to race to a 10-1 lead. Mount Holyoke (0-3) responded with a 5-2 run to close the gap to 12-6 before Vizzini scored to make it 13-6 at halftime. The Warriors outscored the Lyons 5-1 in both the third and fourth quarters, building a double-digit lead halfway through the third quarter and opening it up to 15 with five straight goals to end the game.
