Playing their first home game of the year, the Hawks (0-2-1) got on the board in the first minute as Hawkins collected the ball off a scramble at the top of the Delaware box. She dribbled quickly to the left and drilled a shot to the lower left corner to give Saint Joseph's a 1-0 lead 58 seconds into the match.

The Blue Hens (1-2-1) evened the game in the 21st minute off a set-piece goal by Leigh Victory. From the left side and 20 yard out, Victory placed a low shot past the SJU wall and into the net to make it a 1-1 game at 20:42.

The game would push bask and forth over the remainder of regulation, with the Hawks out shooting the Blue Hens, 14-13.

In the first extra frame, neither team was able to place a shot on net, forcing the final 10-minute period. Neal came up large in the second overtime, making a diving save to preserve the tie.

For the game, Delaware finished with a 20-17 edge in shots, while the Hawks finished with 13 corners to the Blue Hens' five.
