Trailing 1-0 for most of the game, the Monks tied the tilt when sophomore forward Libby Pomerleau (Limerick, Maine) netted her 13th goal of the season in the 65th minute
After two 15-minute periods failed to produce a winner, the New England region foes headed to penalty strokes, where Pomerleau, Arianna Kahler (Lisbon Falls, Maine), and Elyse Caiazzo (Scarborough, Maine/Cheverus) converted their attempts to lift the Monks to a 3-2 advantage and the victory
Sophomore goalkeeper Kaylin Mansir (Gardiner, Maine) did not make a save in regulation or overtime but made the decisive stop in the penalty stroke shootout
