The Marauders opened with strong offensive pressure and dictated the pace throughout the first half. Millersville's effective ball management created multiple shot opportunities. Freshman Alex Delavan led the attack with a shot on goal just two minutes into the match and followed up with another attempt that was saved by the Raiders' goalkeeper.

Shippensburg responded with a shot on goal of its own, but Millersville goalkeeper Kieran Finegan made the save. Finegan earned his fourth start of the season and fifth overall appearance, finishing with two save.

At the 33-minute mark, the Marauders broke through when Juan Ortiz Escobar connected with sophomore Mason Quinton for his first goal of the season. Millersville carried that momentum into halftime with a 1–0 lead.

The second half began much like the first, with Millersville maintaining strong control of possession. The Marauders earned two early corner kicks but were unable to capitalize.

In the 62nd minute, Roy Parkyn was tripped inside the goalie box and awarded a penalty kick, giving Millersville a chance to extend its lead. Parkyn aimed left with his shot, but the Raiders' goalkeeper made the save.

The Marauders continued to apply pressure as Kayden Sowell recorded a shot on goal, followed by an attempt from Juan Ortiz that was also unsuccessful. The remainder of the match was marked by steady ball management and multiple fouls from both teams. Millersville held firm defensively and secured the 1–0 victory.
