The Privateers picked up right where they left off in the third quarter, outscoring Old Westbury 5-0 in the period to extend their advantage to 13-2.  The Panthers halted the run at eight straight goals midway through the fourth quarter before Pecoraro netted back-to-back tallies less than a minute apart.  Garcia then added her sixth goal of the game with 2:07 left to put Maritime up 16-3.  Ashley Maniscalso notched a late score for Old Westbury to make it a 16-4 final.

In addition to her six goals, Garcia picked up three ground balls.  Pecoraro finished with four goals and four assists, while Grider also notched a hat trick to go along with an assist and four draw controls.  Mia Brandenstein (West Islip, NY), meanwhile, paced the Privateers with five ground balls and three draw controls.  Hannah Honor (Smithtown, NY) (2-5) played the first three quarters in goal and made two saves.  Clio Liff (Bronx, NY) was credited with one save in the fourth quarter.
