With 2:43 left in the 1^st, the Mammoths tested the Mule's goalkeeper with four consecutive shots following a penalty corner opportunity, however none were successful. Just two minutes later, Amherst earned another penalty corner, where junior Beth Williamson blasted a shot towards the net that bounced off a Mule's stick and was sent in the air. Sophomore Muffie Mazambani batted the ball mid-air to the right of the goal for first-year Sam Maynard, who tipped it past the Mule's keeper. 
 
The Mammoths boosted their 1-0 lead and found their groove with two minutes left in the 2^nd when Mazambani collected a rebound off Colby's goalkeeper and sent it near-post to give the Mammoths a 2-0 lead.   
 Amherst kept rolling after halftime just minutes into the 3^rd when Mazambani controlled a pass from first-year Abbey Kays at the top of the circle and blasted a shot, bringing the score to 3-0. Finally, the last tally of the game came from Maynard who reverse-shaved the ball in a scrum in front of the net, making the final score 4-0. 
 
The Mammoths controlled possession for the majority of the contest, edging Colby in shots 25-7, and corners 11-4. Colby keeper, Hattie Baker ended with 15 saves while Sara Nidus finished with 5 saves for the Mammoths.
