In the 26th minute, Curry extended its lead to two on a goal from Shannon Folan, and just 2:35 later Curry stretched it to three on a Borges tally.
McAuliffe put an end to the shutout in the 35th minute on a free kick, but Curry had a quick answer when junior Sydney Resendes scored in the 38th minute. It would take just 46 seconds for the Colonels to stretch their lead to 5-1, when sophomore Natalie Keenan scored her first collegiate goal.
The game turned into a defensive battle as neither team found the back of the net in the second half.
