The teams combined for three goals in the opening five minutes of the game. The Monks struck first on a goal by Hannah LeBlanc less than three minutes into the contest. Haley DaGraca added the second Monks goal a minute later to bring the score to 2-0. Bronte Howorth answered right back for the Terriers. Howorth collected a rebound off of her own shot and buried the ball to cut the Monks' lead in half.
The Monks brought their lead back to two goals with 36 minutes left in the half. DaGraca touched a pass to Colleen Sheehan who fired a shot from inside the 18 and into. The shot tipped off the outstretched glove of Terriers goalkeeper Paige Leary but rolled into the back of the net for the third Monk goal. Sheehan and DaGraca connected again in the 22nd minute to push the lead to 4-1 where it would stay until halftime.
St. Joe's extended their lead to 5-1 five minutes into the second half. Sarah Comtois drove a free kick on goal that got over the head of Thomas keeper Ashley Gooden and into the back of the net.
The Monks added three more goals in the remainder of the half to bring the final score to 8-1.
Michelle Cunha recorded three saves in goal for the Monks and earned the win. Leary was tagged with the loss, recording ten saves. Gooden relieved Leary in net for the second half, and recorded seven saves.
