The first half was an even affair, with both the Cougars and the Barons notching five shots. However, the lone goal scored in the first half was by the hosts in the 22^nd minute. Initially, the Cougars started with first-year Hannah Ehrlich in goal, but an early substitution thrusted junior Tyler Colburn into the first half.
 
Ehrlich came back in to start the second half, where she finished the game. Chatham came out as the aggressor in the second half, more than doubling up on shots over Franciscan 12-5. The Cougars drew even in the 65^th minute when graduate Kyla Kelley found junior Cassidy Martin who fired in her first goal of the season, a critical one that put the game at 1-1.
 
It didn't take long for the Cougars to score in the overtime period. Senior Morgan Anderson had the ball in the near corner of the pitch and swung it to the goal box. After Franciscan punched the ball out, junior Maggie Toomey chested the ball in and secured the come-from-behind win for Chatham.
 
The Cougars outshot Franciscan 19-10 for the match and 9-6 on goal. The Cougars also had six corners, five of which came in the second half and overtime period. Toomey and junior Emily Harvey, first-year Hannah Thomas and senior Emily Martz played all 93:50 for the Cougars.
