- Walsh opened the BU account with a free-position goal with 9:05 left in the first quarter.
- Then O'Brien made her mark on the game, dodging a defender on the right side and bouncing her shot past the Army goalkeeper.
- Stevenson then scored two straight for BU, first taking a pass from junior Tessa Geddes, then switching from her right to left and beating Serafine.
- Her second goal came from a tight angle on the side of the goal and screaming over the goalkeeper's shoulder.
- The Black Knights scored with a second left in the first quarter and then added three more in the second quarter.
- Stevenson's third goal was a rocket as she took a pass from Walsh and wound up for a long-range shot that beat Army's goalie.
- That goal came with 4:56 left in the half and neither team could score in the remainder of the first half, and BU entered the second half down 8-5.
- The Black Knights potted the first goal of the second half, then the Terriers responded with two goals.
- O'Brien netted her second of the day after breaking through a double team and shooting from her right side to beat the goalkeeper.

- The Black Knights once again went on a run, this time of five goals, and held a 14-7 lead with 11:06 to play in the game.
- While falling down, Geddes scored her second of the game, using a huge stutter step to create space between two defenders and beat the goalie low.
