The Monarchs showed resilience in the fourth quarter, with Stratton adding another goal while tightening up defensively, but FDU-Florham added one more to close out the 15-8 final.

The Schultz twins led the Monarchs offensively with five points each on three goals and two assists from Sarah and two goals and three assists from Emilee. Sydney Stratton (2) and Brooke Harmonosky also found the back of the net in the loss, with Harmonosky picking up a helper as well.
