It was Pellegrino's eighth goal of the season and her 33rd career goal, the senior moved into a tie for third place in program history with the goal. Pellegrino's goal was assisted by Mia Karine Myklebust.

Following Pellegrino's goal, Cornell took to the offensive, forcing Brown goalkeeper Ellie Parker to make two saves. The Big Red were able to level the game at one exactly 12 minutes into the opening quarter.

The two teams entered the second quarter knotted at one before Brown was awarded an early penalty stroke chance. Lucy Adams stepped up and fired the ball into the back of the net and Brown regained the lead 49 seconds into the quarter. Neither team found the back of the net for the remainder of the first half as the Bears took a 2-1 advantage into halftime.
