The Fords continued to press as Sophia Mitchell forced a save in the 65th minute and Emma Kirk was denied by Pacheco in the 71st. Despite the late chances, neither side could convert before the final whistle.

In goal, Lily Buyer played the opening 45 minutes without facing a shot. Billups closed out the match with one save in the second half to preserve the clean sheet for Haverford. Offensively, Peifer and Daulerio paced the Fords with two shots apiece, while Daulerio put one on target.
