- In the opening 35 minute, Providence led in shots (9-0), shots on goal (4-0) and penalty corners (5-0).

- Seven different players recorded at least one shot attempt for Providence in the first half.

- Brown called a timeout with 5:43 remaining in the game and neither team generated much attack until the Friars were awarded a penalty corner inside of 4:00 minutes left. It marked their 13th corner of the game and proved to be the difference as junior Allyson Parker (Orange, Mass.) scored her first goal of the season.

- Parker's goal was assisted by Amanda Collins (San Diego, Calif.) and Maddie Babineau (Milton, Ontario).
