The Red Flash defeated the Mount by a 13-7 score, and Bucknell showed no mercy in the 27-9 result during the afternoon.
 
Robyn Currie and Ana Luisa Cotta took charge of goal scoring on the final day. The freshman Currie led with six total scores, followed by Cotta with five. Both took a turn as the leader for a game, each tallying four in a single contest. Rebecca Valentine joined them as a multi-goal scorer, finding the back of the net twice against SFU.
