All of the scoring in the game would come in the second half as Cornerstone's Christian Galloway would score twice, and CU would also take advantage of an own goal on a deflection off a Cardinal defender. Nyle Ellis would have another opportunity in the second half but the goal was knocked away by a Golden Eagle defender.
Cardinal goalie Kyri Wixom would have a solid afternoon while saving nine shots.
