Haley Williams (Garnet Valley, Pa./Garnet Valley) benefited from a pass from Kilgallon and found the back of the net for the ninth time this season to tie the game at 4-4 with 5:20 to play in the opening period.

Shippensburg answered with a goal at the 4:31 mark in the first, and Williams and Roberts scored back-to-back goals to give the Huskies a 4-3 lead. Hannah Seifried ended the period with her third of the quarter to tie the game 4-4.

The score remained tied for the rest of the first and midway through the second until Gabby Savarino gave Shippensburg a 5-4 lead. Williams tied the game back at 5-5 with 4:22 to play, but the Raiders out-scored Bloomsburg 4-1 over the final 3:51 of the quarter to take a 9-6 lead into halftime.
