The win was the first for NCF head coach Lipovetsky, leading the Mighty Banyans.

Both of the Mighty Banyans' goals came in the first half as Naomi Woerner scored her first goal of the season at the 20:32 mark and Summer Steele scored her first goal of the season at the 30:09 mark.

In net, sophomore Maria Schatzl recorded a clean sheet, notching two saves in her second save of the season.
