HOW IT HAPPENED
- Ciotoli opened the scoring with his team-leading fourth goal of the year. The first-year midfielder broke the 0-0 tie in the 64th minute after Fletcher sent a cross into the box that was then squared across goal by Nathaniel Sellers, and finished into the top left corner by Ciotoli.
- The Knights only needed just over a minute of game time to extend their lead to 2-0. Fletcher scored his first of the year in the 65th minute off a feed from Ciotoli.
- Kelly found the back of the net in the 85th minute as Clevenger played Kelly through on goal. The first-year midfielder then dribbled around a defender and finished into the bottom right corner for his first collegiate goal.
- Matthews closed out the scoring for the Knights in the 90th minute. The ball was sent into the box to Clevenger who had his shot blocked, but Matthews was right there to finish into the wide-open net for his first career goal.
