The Hoosiers never trailed in the game opening up a 4-0 lead by the end of the first period and an 8-1 advantage by halftime.

Trailing 7-0 with 1:55 left in the first half, Princeton broke through with an exclusion score by Audrey Zak (Fr., Carlsbad, Calif./Carlsbad) to break-up the shutout bid by Indiana goalie Cassie Wyckoff (Fr., Los Altos, Calif./Los Altos).  Indiana regained its seven goal lead a minute later as Nicole Sands (Jr., Westlake Village, Calif./Agoura) connected on an exclusion chance for an 8-1 score at the break.
