The Knights had the first opportunity to break the tie five minutes into the first half, but Junior Rebecca Santorio cleared the ball off the line when it appeared that Arcadia was about to take the lead.

Sophomore Emily Sousa had Albright's best chance of the night when she dribbled past two defenders and had a clear shot at the net with 15 minutes to play in the first half, but she was unable to put the ball on net.

The game was scoreless after the first 45 with Arcadia sending seven shots at goal with three stops by Stepp in the Albright goal. Albright managed two attempts at goal and earned its only corner of the game.

Suzanne Kuhrmann stopped what looked like a sure goal in the 53^rd minute; Natalie Wilson's sliding attempt was blocked and dribbled harmlessly to the Arcadia keeper with the game still scoreless in the 60^th minute.

Haberbosch then scored the game winner less than a minute later, the knights held an 18-3 shot advantage and a 5-1 edge in corners for the game

Stepp made eight saves in goal for Albright and Veronica Willig was strong in the box with services, but did not face a shot in picking up the victory.
