After a scoreless 0-0 draw through intermission, the Pipers prevailed with a pair of goals despite being out shot by the Eagles 13-8 over the final 45:00. The first goal occurred in the 59th minute when a Tylar Sayles throw-in bounced off Anna Browne and found Dempsey, who drove the ball down the right side 15 yards in front of the net. She fired a pass across the field to Sydni Thompson, who one-timed a shot 20 yards out to the back of the net to make things 1-0.

Dempsey tallied her third goal of the season in the 66th minute, when she got past the Eagles' back line all alone and let a shot go 20 yards in front of the net to widen the score to 2-0.

Northwestern held a slight 18-16 advantage in shots led by Dempsey's game-high four.

Pipers goalie Lauren Sicora made 10 saves en route to her fourth shutout of the season. Delaynee Bohatta recorded both of Northwestern's saves over just 9:21 of work, while Reagan Flaschberger made no saves throughout 80:39.
