The Eagles outshot the Terriers 10-5 and won more penalty corner opportunities than their local rival, but it was Eva van de Mierop who provided the winning moment, scoring the only goal of the game off a penalty corner six minutes into the second half.

BC relied heavily on its defense and goaltender Sarah Dwyer to stay alive against North Carolina. It was only a matter of time before the Tar Heels delivered their finishing blow.
