- Jianna Ramirez got free and raced past the Eagles' defense, scoring a breakaway goal with just 21 seconds remaining in the first half to give NSU a 1-0 lead. That goal was Ramirez' first of the season and gave the Sharks momentum going into the locker room.
- Late in the second half, the Sharks scored again, as Oliwia Loeman assisted Genesis Hernandez on a goal at the 79:11 mark for a 2-0 lead. That goal was Hernandez' 12th of the year and provided the final cushion for the Sharks.
