Montclair went on the attack right out of the gate, producing two corners in the first four minutes of the match.

Prendergast found ISABELL KRONOW for a goal in the 17th minute that gave them a 1-0. Just two minutes later, Kronow struck again, this time off a pass from MACKENZIE ALBERT, and the Red Hawks held a 2-0 lead, which they took into the halftime intermission. NJCU saw the first shot of the second half in the 56th minute, but it went over the net. Four minutes later, Albert fired a shot into the back of the net to give Montclair a commanding 3-0 lead. The Gothic Knights saw opportunities down the stretch with three shots on goal, but all were denied by SALANGE BELL, and the Red Hawks earned the shutout win.
