Babson took the lead 10 minutes into the game following a penalty corner. Sophomore Penny Baroni (Dennis, Mass.) received the insertion and passed to DiGiovanni, who dribbled to her right to create space and sent a long shot through traffic and into the goal for her fourth marker of the season.

The Green and White doubled their lead in the second quarter following another penalty corner. After a shot by Babson shot was blocked, Smith collected the loose ball and spun around before depositing the ball into the left side of the cage for a 2-0 lead.
