After a tightly contested first half, four second half Whitworth goals would be too much to overcome for the Boxers as they dropped the match 5-2.
 
Pacific (2-13-1, 2-9-1 NWC) would be inches from scoring just three minutes into the match when Emily Thompson's shot off of a Brooklynn Smith corner sailed just wide, it would be the Boxers closest attempt of the half as the defenses tightened up late.
 
Whitworth (9-4-3, 7-3-2 NWC) would begin pressuring and control much of the pace as they took the next four shot attempts, the first two coming in the 8^th and 10^th minutes. Both the Pirate attempts would miss the frame.
 
In the 13^th minute Boxer keeper Saya Brown would make her first save stopping a Whitworth attack. But the Pirates would break through for the only goal of the first half in the 20^th minute after Arielle Van Peursem beat Brown with a quick touch and tapped it in on an open net.
 
Brown would make three more saves in the half, and the Boxers would not be able to get a shot off after the 25^th minute.
 
The second half saw an offensive explosion take place, as a combined six goals would be scored between the two teams.
 
Whitworth would strike first in the 50^th minute when Gabriella Coprivnica would score an unassisted goal.
 
The Boxers would fight back however as Gabby Glaser would score her second goal of the season after Smith crossed a ball in and Thompson passed it off in the box, finding Glaser and bringing the score to 2-1 in the 71^st minute.
 
After Glaser's goal, the Pirates would score the next three opening up a 5-1 lead late in the half. The three goals would all come within five minutes as they were scored in the 76^th, 78^th, and 80^th minutes.
 
The final goal of the match would come in the 90^th minute, as Kara Campbell would score her first career goal as Boxer, heading in a cross off the foot of Elizabeth Blair.
