Iona got on the scoreboard off the stick of Kira Varada, it was her 27th goal of the season. Fairfield closed out the quarter with another goal in the final seconds, regaining the two goal lead to start the second 15.

Iona trimmed the Stags lead from 6-1 to 6-2 with a goal from Micaela Fitzpatrick, her 19th of the year. Fairfield answered with two more goals extending their lead to six with 6:11 left in the first half. Iona gained some momentum with two goals from Emily Stewart and Amber Brewster heading into the halftime break.
