UMPI would fight back and knot the game at 1 when Sam Nadeau was able to get the shot pass Goodspeed at the 20 minute mark.

The Raiders would then go ahead for good when Caron was able to beat the goalkeeper for the second time inside the 36 minute mark after another pass from Cohoon. Cohoon then finished the game tallying three goals including a penalty kick inside the 39 minute mark.
