PC scored the first goal of the game in the 40^th minute off a goal from Davis Smith. His teammates Christopher Roman and Tiago Mendonca got credit for the assists.

The Golden Eagles were outshot 9-0 in the first half and 25-2 on the game. Sophomore defender Josh Hancock had the lone shot on goal for MU in the second half.
