Senior Charlotte Messer won back the ball and took a touch before firing a curler off a defender and into the net.
The game would remain 1-1 until the Bobcats would find a winner through Kylie Musante in the 71st minute.
Sophomore Hannah Kenney and the Eagle defense kept the Eagles in the game as Kenney made six saves while junior defender Mackenzie Lambert made two goal line clearances.
