Junior Samantha Cozzolino scored four times for Southern Connecticut State, as the teams played out of region for the second time in three years, having squared off in Florida in 2016. Senior Nicole Healey added two goals and three assists, as she and Cozzolino both had six draw controls, while seniors Carolynn Keal and Taylor Portelinha both scored three times during four-point days. First-year Lauren Morton made nine saves.

After Portelinha scored 1:16 into the game, the Purple Knights rattled off four straight goals, with Kate Martin scoring twice, and still led 5-2 on Turner's first college score with 15:30 to go in the opening half. Her second goal had Saint Michael's ahead 6-4 at 10:14, but Cozzolino netted three goals during a half-ending 4-0 run that took 2:20 to elapse. Moyna and Vincent both had a goal and an assist in a 3-0 stretch that began the second period, putting the Purple and Gold up 9-8, but Healey and Portelinha split scoring duties in a 4-0 response.

Moyna tallied on a free-position try with 14:21 to go for her 100th point before Oliver followed suit at 12:46, and Moyna fed Waystack for the equalizer with 10:30 left. First-year Hailey Gordon put the Owls ahead at 5:02, but Kate Martin converted Krause's dish 25 seconds later, and Bower made a big save at the end of the shot clock with 3:02 left to keep it tied. However, the Purple Knights committed a turnover with 90 seconds remaining and the Owls held for the final possession, with Cozzolino scoring at 14 seconds. Healey won the ensuing draw.
