CNU's Julie Iapicca had three of her game-high seven goals in that quarter as the Captains held a 10-6 lead at halftime.

Green scored the first goal of the third quarter as Rowan pulled within, 10-7, but the Captains tallied two more to maintain a 12-7 lead. Green and Lowry scored consecutive goals for the Profs to cut the deficit to 12-9 late in the third quarter. CNU responded by outscoring Rowan, 6-2, in the final quarter to put away the win.
