The Red Dragons started the game with six unanswered goals including two by Cohen and Sophia Calabrese (Bethlehem/Bethlehem Central). After Potsdam got on the board at the 20:28 mark, Oneonta's Christen Patalano (Mineola/Kellenberg Memorial) found the back of the net on a pass from Erin Fowler (East Meadow/East Meadow).  Victoria Varone (Commack/Commack) and Cohen increased the Red Dragons lead when they tickled the twine just 29 seconds apart to make the score 9-1.

Potsdam would rally for three unanswered goals including two with a man-advantage to cut their deficit to 9-4. Oneonta responded with three straight goals to wrap up the first half with a 12-4 lead. The final goal of the half was Cohen's 200^th point of her career on a pass from Patalano for a man-up goal.

Potsdam was able to cut the Oneonta lead to 14-7 in the second half before the Red Dragons put the game out of reach by netting five unanswered goals to make the score 19-7.
