Less than five minutes later, sophomore Sarah Little (Scarborough, Maine) dribbled through traffic to create a scoring chance. As the Plymouth goalie came off the crease, Little scored on a shot into the opposite corner of the net for her first goal of the season.

In the 82nd minute, Plymouth had a chance to knot the score when sophomore Emily Bell (Derry, N.H.) fired a shot over Spencer. The ball hit off the crossbar and deflected to junior Cassie Graham (Foster, R.I.) who ripped a shot, but was denied by the Colby-Sawyer keeper.
