Jamie Long, assisted by Austin Fox, started the scoring with a man-up goal with 9:19 to go in the quarter.

Marymount took control in the second quarter with three goals to lead by four, 6-2, by halftime.
After another MC goal to open the third, the Pirates began a comeback. Fox scored a man-up goal and Long added his second goal of the game to pull SU within three, 7-4, with eight minutes remaining in the third.
Unfortunately, Marymount was too much as they scored four straight to pull away as the game entered the midway point of the fourth quarter. Carter Cowan scored, assisted by Long, and Fox scored with 1:50 to play to arrive at the 13-6 final.
SU only trailed by 14 in the shot count, 45-31, and committed one more turnover in the loss.
