Overall, the Blue and White held an 11-7 advantage in shots, including a 9-5 advantage in shots on goal, while also holding a 4-1 edge in corner kicks.
Cabrini opened the scoring in the 26th minute on Wojton's aforementioned goal. The senior took a pass from Gilinger and pushed it past Wesley's Kiyanna Gill for the 1-0 advantage.
The score would hold steady into the 70th minute until Wesley's Allison Backert found Kaitlyn Roazzi for the equalizer. Just seven minutes later the Wolverines would add another goal, this time off the foot of Emily Caldarelli, for the 2-1 advantage.
The Cavs would apply late pressure as they attempted three shots in the games final 10 minutes of play, but Gill and Wesley would hang on for the eventual 2-1 final.
