In the second quarter, Jacey Smith (Watertown, Wis./Watertown) found the back of the net to close the scoring gap. Minutes later, a Wolves attacker broke through the Calvin defenses to answer with a goal of their own and the teams headed into halftime with a John Carroll leading 5-3.
 
In the second half, besides a lone goal by freshman Corinne Plumb (St. Louis, Mo./Westminster Christian Academy), John Carroll dominated the score sheet as they went on to beat the Knights 13-4.
