The Great Danes netted the only goal of the evening in the 23rd minute. After the Cats tried to clear an Albany throw-in, Gina Bracamonte hooked a line drive from 20 yards out and snuck the eventual game-winner inside of the far post.
 
In the 61st minute, Yurick had another opportunity with a breakaway. After getting a low feed in the box, the junior was 1-on-1 with Albany keeper Andrea Leitner (6 saves) but Leitner made a kick save at point-blank range.
