Blanken game Hey the return pass and Hey found the back of the net 52 seconds into the match. The Wolfpack would control the flow of the game for most of the half.

Hey ran onto the pass and finished for his second goal of the game. Keuka would carry a 2-0 advantage into the halftime break.

Keuka College continued to pressure in the second half, but the Bison keeper came up strong. Keuka was awarded a penalty kick in the 68th minute following a handball in the box. It was saved to keep the margin at two goals. The Wolfpack added to their lead in the 80th minute. Gallaudet's keeper made another save on a penalty kick, but Ben Schreiber tucked home the rebound for the 3-0 lead. Keuka would play out the final minutes for the 3-0 victory.
