The fifth-seeded Seahawks (6-10-1), who captured the program's first-ever CAC title a season ago, let the contest slip away from them in the final eight minutes of regulation.

Senior forward Erika Kenny (Severna Park, Md./Severna Park) put St. Mary's on the board first late in the first half when Kenny picked up her fourth goal of the season off an assist by freshman midfielder Carly Harmon (Davisburg, Mich./Holly) at 35:54.  The Seahawk defense was on point, holding the Mary Washington to just two shots and preserving the 1-0 lead at halftime.

The tables were turned in the second half as Mary Washington limited the Seahawk offense to just three shots and the Eagles fired off seven shots; however, St. Mary's defensive unit stood strong until 82:03 when junior midfielder Sarah Tryon (Fairfax Station, Va./South County) finally broke through with the equalizer off an assist from sophomore defender Amy Olson (Crofton, Md./Arundel).
