Temple controlled much of the opening quarter, allowing just one Rider shot while generating a pair of its own. The Owls' best opportunity came off a penalty corner in the 11th minute, when Lassalle's attempt was stopped by Rider goalkeeper Jade Regnart.

The Owls continued to generate chances in the second quarter, firing seven shots before finally breaking through with 1:21 remaining before halftime. Martin inserted a Temple penalty corner before working toward the cage, where she deflected Magro's ensuing shot past Regnart to give the Owls a 1-0 advantage.
