Both teams had opportunities on their first possession as the Knights won the opening draw and hit the post. Keuka then followed with possession, but their shot was saved. Mount Saint Mary opened scoring with a goal 2:36 into the game. After pushing it to 2-0, the Wolves pulled one back as Sadie Bonetti set up Maddie Fassinger for the goal. The Knights answered on a free position, but Bauder responded with her first to make it 3-2 after one.

The Green and Gold tied the game at 3-3 with Trinity Burton finishing on a free position shot minutes into the second. The visitors responded with four straight, however, to open a four-goal lead. Brooke Bonetti netted a goal before halftime, but the Wolves trailed 7-4 at the break.

Both goalies stood tall in the third quarter. Chase made three stops for Keuka in the frame, but the Mount Saint Mary keeper recorded four to keep the Wolves off the board. The Knights outscored the Wolves 2-0 in the third and carried a 9-4 lead into the final quarter.

Mount Saint Mary got the first goal of the fourth, but the Wolves answered back quickly. Julia Bauder snapped a 20-plus minute goalless drought for Keuka with a tally. It would take only 44 seconds for the Wolves to strike again. Trinity Burton won the draw control and Bauder would score to make it 10-6 with 9:07 remaining. However, that would be Keuka's final goal of the game. The Knights added three insurance goals and saw the clock out as Mount Saint Mary College defeated Keuka College 13-6 on Saturday.
