GAME FLOW & NOTES
 - The Friars controlled possession in the opening 45 minutes and outshot the Hawks by a 8-2 margin, but the first half ended scoreless.
- Providence landed four shots on target, including two from Elayna Grillakis (Lowell, Mass.), who nearly powered a shot from out the box over Maia Perez's outstretched hands. Perez corralled the shot and her momentum nearly carried her past the goal line.
- Hannah McNulty (Warwick, R.I.) had two looks off of free kicks in the opening half but both attempts sailed over the crossbar.
- Katelyn Vieira (Warwick, R.I.) was fouled inside the box to reward Providence with a penalty kick in the first minute of overtime. Grillakis converted on Providence's third penalty kick of the season.
