After the break, Buffalo took control, possessing in their attacking end, but couldn't find a breakthrough in the Bonaventure defense. 
 
Juliana Castellano entered for the Bonnies in the 52nd minute, taking over for Schubert. The sophomore held off the relenting Buffalo attack until the 80th minute when a high ball in found the head of Kelly Severini who nodded home the game's only goal. 
 
Castellano finished with four saves in 38 minutes. 
 
Eleven different players made their St. Bonaventure debuts in the opener. Four players logged the full 90 minutes including seniors Sydney Hayward, Bridget Kennedy and Elisabeth Ptacek as well as sophomore Lauren Westwood.
