- Just 93 seconds into the second half, Bravo took control of a throw-in from Julianne Yuris (Middletown, Conn.) and tucked a low shot that snuck by the right post past St. Joseph's goalkeeper, Ashlyn Guerrette to put Albertus up, 2-0.
- Exactly five minutes later, Stocking put in the final goal for Albertus as she raced the ball down the left sideline, cut into the box and fired a high shot to the far side of the net past a diving Guerrette to make it a 3-0 game. It was the first goal of the season for Stocking.
