Brockport used a big first half to jump on the Golden Flyers early. Nazareth scored the game's first goal but Brockport answered right back with two of their own. Brockport led 4-3 midway through the first half but Sarah Brown (Syracuse, NY/West Genesee) sparked a 4-0 run for the Golden Eagles to pull away. The two sides traded goals multiple times to open the second half, but Brockport held Nazareth scoreless for the final 15:34 of the game to secure the season-opening victory.

Following the first Nazareth goal, Nina Tassone (Liverpool, NY/Liverpool) found the back of the net at the 27:54 mark on an assist from Brown to tie the game up at one. Kaila Maguire (Potsdam, NY/Potsdam) gave Brockport its first lead less than a minute later until Nazareth responded with a goal of its own.

Brockport built a two-goal lead minutes later as Algie picked up her first score and Brown found Ciara McKeon (Westhampton Beach, NY/Westhampton Beach) for her first goal as a Golden Eagle. Nazareth cut the deficit in half, but Brown scored the first of four straight to boost the Brockport offense. Following the goal by Brown, Algie tallied her second score and Alyssa Scordo (Watertown, NY/South Jefferson) picked up her first. Makensie Schuber (Webster, NY/Webster Thomas) put Brockport up 8-3 with an assist from Brown, her third of the game.
