- Elin Jenson gave Florida State a 1-0 lead in the 25th minute off a rebound in front of the goal. Off a corner, BC's Hayley Dowd blocked a shot by Natalia Kuikka. The ball landed on Cheyna Williams touched the ball into the box and Jenson one-timed the ball through the crowd of players in front of the goal.
- The Eagles tied the game in the 47th minute in the match on Hayley Dowd's 12th goal of the season. Dowd stole the ball off a lazy pass from a FSU defender and broke in on FSU goalkeeper Cassie Miller alone. Dowd calmly placed the ball from 11 yards out to the far corner under Miller's attempt to dive for the ball.
- FSU took the lead with less than five minutes on a goal by Megan Connolly. Off a throw in, Connolly received the ball from Natalia Kuikka in the middle of the box. Her first touch was with her right foot, and she put it on her left foot and placed it in the top corner for a 2-1 lead.
- A minute later, Hayley Dowd was dropped in the box when she received a header off McKenzie Meehan. Dowd was kicked in the back of the leg and had to leave the match. BC was awarded a penalty kick and McKenzie Meehan stepped up and tied the match with less than four minutes to play in the match.
"I thought our girls played very organized and with a lot of determination today against a very good Florida State team,'' said BC head coach Alison Foley. "Not many people come down here and get a point so we are pleased with the performance and the result.''
