With the win, Fisher finishes the regular season with a 16-1 overall record and a perfect 8-0 mark in the Empire 8, while the Gators fall to 2-13 overall and 1-7 in conference play.

Early goal scorers included Doyle, Tice, Sydney DeGirolamo, Mallory Eymer, Emily Thompson, and Alyssa Sabotka.

At the 25:00 mark of the opening half, Eymer tallied her second goal of the game and 46^th of the season, which marked the junior's 100^th career goal in a Cardinals' uniform.

As the first half of action wore on, the Fisher offense continued to cruise along as the Cardinals found the back of the net four more times over the next 10 minutes of play. DeGirolamo notched her hat-trick goal at the 13:39 mark, while Rourke, Brittany Halpin, and Maria Hristodoulou joined in on the Cardinals' goal scoring run.

However, Sage tallied its first goal of the game with only one second remaining on the game clock as the Gators were able to capitalize on a long-range shot.
