One game after firing 14 shots total shots against James Madison, the Huskies continued to showcase their offensive prowess. Northeastern tallied seven first-half shots while holding the Tribe to just one.

Early in the game Morgan Hilby headed a corner kick on net, but W&M goalkeeper Caroline Casey made the stop. Hilby made another bid to put NU ahead 1-0 with less than a minute left in the first half when her shot attempt from just outside the box on the right side was tipped over the net by Casey.
