UNC would get on the board at 36:18 with an unassisted goal by Lynne Quattrone but Loyola's defense would hold them the Tar Heels virtually scoreless until the last two minutes of play.
Shuck started another Loyola run at 38:10 and then assisted on an Eyler goal at 41:22. Eyler would add her fourth goal of the day at 45:21. Susan Tyrrell got the final point for the Greyhounds with her goal ay 53:55.
