Freshman utility and reigning conference Player of the Week Claire Pierce opened the scoring just 55 seconds in, followed by a goal from junior utility Whitney Bell.

Senior utility Jenna Casady made it four unanswered goals before a penalty shot goal from the Regals' Meredith Butte finally got CLU on the scoreboard with 1:20 left in the first. The Pioneers finished the quarter strong, however, as junior two meter Liz Warren gave East Bay a 5-1 lead with a no-look goal with less than a minute remaining.
