GW battled to a 4-4 tie at halftime, when the Bruins exploded in the third period, outscoring the Colonials 4-1. GW was unable to recover, losing the match 6-9. GW was led by freshman Mia Fabian and senior Heather Walenga who each scored two goals for the contest.

In their second match of the day, GW faced third-seeded Hartwick College. The Hawks proved too much for the Colonials, holding GW to four goals, while scoring 11 of their own. The Colonials again played a solid first half, holding Hartwick to three goals, and only trailing by one heading into the third period. However, the Hawks would surge on offense scoring six goals in the third and two in the fourth to top GW 11-4.
