Michelle Campbell (Annville, Pa./Northern Lebanon) scored Juniata's first penalty stroke goal, beating Ranger goalie Stef Rutkowski just three-and-a-half minutes into the game to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead. After heading into the intermission with the 1-0 lead, Juniata expanded its lead to 2-0 early in the second half.

The 16th-ranked Eagles outshot Drew 17-7, however the Rangers held an 8-7 advantage in penalty corner opportunities.
