The Patriots evened the score with 6:08 to play in the first half, as Jessica Posey connected with Janelle McSurley for a goal, but Laura Swencki answered with a goal less than two minutes later to give Campbellsville a 2-1 lead at the half.


Cassie Yannelli made it a 3-1 game in the 56th minute with an unassisted goal, but minutes later, the game began to shift. Cumberlands answered in the 58th minute with a goal by Katie Hefelfinger. Leslie Allred tied the game in the 68th minute and took the lead in the 70th minute. Allred went on to assist an insurance goal by Jamie Roberts with 19 minutes to play.
