The Lyons got on the board first with Schwartzman finding the back of the net from a pass from Callahan at 26:58. From there, the game would be tightly contested with either side being able to pull away. Trudeau helped the Lyons push to a three-goal lead with 8:11 left in the half (8-5) before Keene State was able to notch two in the remaining minutes to cut their deficit down to 8-7 at intermission.
The second half was just as tight as the first with both sides trading goals early. Wheaton took an 11-8 lead thanks to Covarrubias at 27:16, but Keene State found themselves going on a 7-0 run in the remaining 22 minutes to push past the Lyons. Kaplan netted her lone goal of the game with 1:35 left to play, but it wouldn't be enough to best the Owls.
Jena Casman recorded eight saves in the Lyons loss.
