Hart's 22^nd goal of the season came at 25:55 that tied the game at 1-1 after York's Jayme Verman scored just 22 seconds into the game. A little over two minutes later, Hines' 11 goal of the year evened things at 2-2 for Frostburg.
 
However, the Spartans (9-4, 4-1 CAC) ran off five-consecutive goals over the remainder of the first half and the first goal of the second half for a 7-2 edge.
 
FSU senior Jessica Jones ended the Spartans run with her 16^th of the season with 18:21 showing in the second half that closed the gap to 7-3.
 
York answered with back-to-back goals for a 9-3 advantage before Molly Hart found the net for the second time in the game, this time with 12:33 remaining in the second, to make the score 9-4.
 
The hosts sealed the win game's final four goals over the final 11:43, including two from Lily Damalouji.
 
York outshot Frostburg, 30-12 and controlled much of the game's tempo with a 13-6 advantage in draw controls. Damalouji led the Spartans with four goals, while Verman finished with goals and two assists.
 
Molly Hart led the Bobcats in scoring for the fourth time this season after scoring a pair of goals, one in each half.
