Despite a strong effort, including two goals and an assist from Ashley Thomas and a similar contribution from Alexis Reinard, the Engineers could not overcome an early five-goal deficit. Gettysburg's Julia Daly led her team with four goals, and MIT's comeback attempts fell short as the Bullets secured their victory.
