Ali Andrzejewski scored the lone goal of the game at 21:39 in the first half. The play originated when Naomi Daniels took an indirect kick that was blocked by a Niagara defender, Daniels corralled the ball and crossed it from the right side to an open Andrzejewski for the 1-0 lead and the eventual game winner.
Despite low score, the Greyhounds had several viable chances at the goal but were unable to finish their chances. At 34:03, Carolyn Kennington beat her defender to feed the ball into to Daniels. Daniels tried to get the ball up and over Niagara keeper Katy Owings but Owings was able to get a hand on the ball for the save. In the second half, Kennington had a beautiful kick from 15 feet out but again Owings was able to get a hold of the ball. The Greyhounds finished the game with a 25-2 advantage in shots.
