Marist (0-1) immediately tied the game up in the second quarter off the opening sprint and took lead with 534 to play in second quarter. In a back-and-forth affair, Junior Nicole Tyner tied the game back up with a shot in the middle. Marist countered on 6-on-5 opportunity to go back up one, but Kidd would tie the game up at 5-all with 7.6 seconds left on a fast break going on-on-one with goalie.
The Hoosiers scored three-straight goals to open the third quarter before Marist could get back on the board midway through the frame. A solid defensive effort by IU held the opponent to just one goal in the quarter as Indiana tacked on three more to take an 11-6 lead.
