In the 38th minute, the Hawks broke through. Sophomore midfielder Micaiah Lloyd provided a through ball to a charging freshman forward Gabriela Rodriguez, who finished her breakaway and collected her ninth goal of the season to put CSM ahead 1-0.

In the second half, the Fighting Owls were the more aggressive team while CSM struggled to gather and maintain possession. Harford outshot the Hawks 8-1 in the second half and 17-5 in the game. Harford also had nine corner kicks to CSM's one. Eventually those shots would translate to three unanswered goals to give Harford a 3-1 advantage by the 79th minute.

Sophomore goalkeeper Mackenzie Miller finished the game with 12 saves.

CSM is now 2-5 overall and 0-2 in Region 20 Division II.
