With just 20 seconds remaining in regulation, Fairfield pulled its goalkeeper, Gena Pike, off her mark to help crowd the box during a corner. Pike capitalized on the offensive opportunity with a header for the equalizer.
 
The Stags led in both shots (14-11) and corners (10-3). 
 
Junior Azria Malloy led SHU with three shots and two on goal. Freshmen Jaci Budaj and Grace O'Hara each fired two while Nichol Green and Desiree Crawford tallied one apiece.
