The game was closely contested, with Merrimack maintaining a slight advantage in shots overall but being outshot significantly in the final period. The loss ended what could have been a four-game winning streak for the Warriors.

Additional contributions came from Ashlyn Campbell and Mia Estelle, who each scored twice, and Camryn Chamberlain, who also found the net.
