Freshman Crysti Foote (Suffern, N.Y.) added four goals of her own and Danielle Shearer (Sr., Hampstead, Md.) and Anne Riley (Sr., Marblehead, Mass.) added three goals each in the win. The victory improved the Irish to 8-7 on the season while Vanderbilt falls to 7-8 in the regular-season finale's for each school. Notre Dame totaled nine assists in the game, pushing the season total to 101 and besting the team record of 95 (set in 1999).

The Irish would outscore the Commodores 14-4 in the final half on the way to the 22-11 win.
