How it Happened
 
Senior Nina Muir had an early chance for the Hawks with a deep shot on goal in the fifth minute that was directed towards the top left corner of the goal, but was knocked out of play by the Penmen goalie.
 
In the 28th minute, a long pass from Chisholm through the right side of the SNHU defense made its way to Doyle in the box, who slid, got up off the ground, and then fired a right-footed shot past SNHU's netminder to put Saint Anselm in front, 1-0.
 
The Hawks nearly added to their lead in the 29th and 30th minutes when Muir fired off a pair of shots from point-blank range in the goalie box, but Penmen goalie Claudia Keith was up to the task, turning away both shots to keep Southern New Hampshire within one.
 
Swidorski made her lone save of the day on a long shot from SNHU's Emma Noheimer that forced Swidorski to make a dive to her left as she swatted the ball away to keep Saint Anselm in front, 1-0, in the 37th minute.
 
The Penmen defense remained stout for the remainder of the game, keeping the Hawks from recording a shot on goal up until the final whistle.
 
Southern New Hampshire continued to put the pressure on Saint Anselm and eventually broke through the Hawks' defense, scoring in the 79th minute to tie things at 1-1 on a goal from Jillian Collins. The score remained 1-1 as the final horn sounded, and the Queen City showdown ended in a draw.
