In the second half, Albright continued to control play as the shots continued to pile up. Then the Lions would finally strike in the 55^th minute when freshman Bailey Lehman scored the first goal of her collegiate career after a penalty corner taken by senior Kasey Neiderer. It only took just over a minute before Albright scored again on a breakaway from junior Annette Helmandollar. For Helmandollar, it was her second straight game with a goal. The Lions continued to pressure for more, but would settle for the 2-0 victory.
Albright held a staggering 30-2 shot advantage after outshooting the Wolverines 18-1 in the second half. The Lions also held a 25-1 advantage in penalty corners as well.

Junior goalkeeper Aileen Taylor earned her second shutout in a week after not needing to make any saves in the full 70 minutes of play. Wesley goalkeeper Sidney Knott suffered the loss after making 10 saves and allowing both goals in 57:11 minutes of play.
