Senior forward Danielle Terracciano scored for King's, which suffered just its fourth loss in 18 outings this season. The Monarchs also had their four-game winning streak snapped.

Each team traded scoring chances within the first three minutes of the contest before Montclair got the first goal on the board at 15:22 of the opening period. Moving the ball down inside the circle, Flaherty moved along the right side before firing a shot from the top toward the goal. Carroll was there to redirect the tip in as MSU grabbed a 1-0 lead.

King's answered back just over seven minutes later. Terracciano lifted a looping shot in the air over the head of Bosland, however MSU's Kelly Churchill stopped the ball from going in with a defensive save. The ball then trickled back up and Terracciano alertly tapped in the rebound for the goal, her 12^th as the Monarchs tied the game at 1-1 with 12:17 to go before halftime.

Montclair State countered with two goals in the final seven minutes of the first half. The Flaherty-Carroll connection struck again with 6:57 left. Off a penalty corner, Flaherty moved in along the right side before flipping a pass to Carroll in front for the goal as MSU regained the lead. Flaherty collected her goal with 55 seconds remaining putting a rebound into the cage as the Red Hawks took their 3-1 lead at the half.

Carroll netted the hat trick with the only goal of the second half scoring at the 44:40 mark. Flaherty got the assist.
