Swarthmore had several chances to score the equalizer before the end of regulation and nearly found the back of the net in the 81st minute. Working from the left side, Bachmanhuff attempted an off-balance shot that clanked off the right post. Senior McCleary Philbin appeared to tie the match by potting the rebound into the upper half of goal, but the senior was called offside. Brock had another good look saved by Chernow in the 82nd minute, allowing the Fords to escape with the win.

Magier made three saves on nine opportunities in the losing effort for Swarthmore. Haverford's Chernow stopped two of the five shots she faced to pick up the shutout win.
