Muskingum led 4-1 late in the first quarter before a late Angelina Darpino (Baltimore, Md. / Patapsco) man-down tally brought the margin to 4-2 after 15 minutes of action.
 
The Muskies took control of the contest with a nine goal second quarter to build a 13-4 halftime lead. Ella Sheedy (Ligonier, Pa. / Ligonier Valley) scored the opening goal of the second half before four-straight Muskingum scores pushed the game into a running clock
 
Waverly Lorne (New Providence, N.J. / Governor Livingston) scored three fourth quarter goals to bring the final score to 18-8. The Jackets held Muskingum to just one goal in the fourth quarter and five tallies in the second half.
