In the second, Curry scored first to extend the lead to two-goal, 3-1. Hinds then scored for the Bucs just over 10 minutes later in a very defense-heavy game on both ends of the field. Maritime trailed 3-2 with five to play in the half. In the final 3:30 of the second, Doyle and Michael scored for Curry and the Colonels took a 5-2 advantage into the halftime break. 

Curry scored first in the second half with a goal two minutes in from Sprissler. Durgin cut the deficit to three goals, 6-3, with her second of the night at 11:58. The last goal of the third was scored by Curry at 8:15 of the quarter and the Colonels led by four, 7-3 at the end of three quarters of play. 

The Bucs outscored Curry in the fourth with goals from Dickinson and Hawkins and one goal from Michael for Curry. Maritime could not complete the comeback and fell to Curry by a final of 8-5.
