It was Davis who broke open the scoring, turning and firing from six yards out for a 1-0 Devil lead15:43 into the contest. Just 81 seconds before halftime, Pioneer freshman Katie Stetser (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill West) evened the contest, taking a Courtnaey Chelf (Blackwood, N.J./Triton Regional) pass and converting from seven yards in front of goal.
 
Junior Angelica Giammetta (Wayne, N.J./Wayne Hills) handed WP its first lead of the contest, cleaning up a scramble in front of the cage with a shot to the lower-left corner in the 44th minute.

A series of shots resulted in freshman Jodie Crutchley getting the equalizer at the 63:00 mark.
 
Davies made 14 saves for the Pioneers, and sophomore Samantha Klimaszewski had one stop for FDU-Florham.
