Merrimack (4-9-2, 3-6-0), Niagara

The Warriors took the lead early as they applied pressure and
Daniela Almeida found wide open space in the penalty area and slotted the ball home for the opening goal in the opening five minutes.
Niagara would claw the game even with seven minutes left in the half on a long shot that snuck inside the bottom right corner and would take the lead less than a minute later on a free kick with some assist from the wind.
In the second half, Merrimack kept the chances to the outside and Addison Israel made three saves, but Merrimack's chances were turned away and were unable to put the ball in the net before the clock hit triple zeros.

- Ava Lovergine had the lone assist.
- Addison Israel made six saves.
