With 2:29 left in the first quarter, Sam King netted a man-down goal with an assist from Humphrey. The Dukes ended the quarter with a man up free position goal, the score now 4-2.

Within three minutes, the Hatter offense pounced on the Dukes seeing scores from Molly Kearney, Jordyn Humphrey, Kaitlin Pani, Humphrey again and Aine Williams, narrowing the score to 8-7 with 2:23 left in the quarter.
The third quarter consisted of hard fought back-to-back action. Katie Kornacki and Kaitlin Pani netted the first goals of the quarter, followed by goals from Sara Freeman (assisted by Jessica Duggan), Kornacki again and Camden Frissora (assisted from Sam King). The Dukes were up 13-12 by the end of the quarter, and the battle was on.
The fourth quarter started with an unstoppable Hatter offense. The beginning scores saw goals from Duggan, King, and two from Kornacki. Kornacki and King led the Hatter offense- Kornacki tabbed 4 and King with 3 for a hat trick. Stetson was able to see out the game with a final score of 16-14 over the Dukes.
