Lafayette (5-7-2, 2-1-1) continued to pressure the American defense and was finally able to tie the match in the 89th minute. Peter Adubato sent in a cross to Brandon Turner, who was able to put it past Billy Knutsen for the 1-1 score.

The Leopards registered two shots in the first overtime period, but Knutsen came up with the saves to keep the match tied. Both teams posted shots in the second overtime period with neither team able to convert to break the tie.

Lafayette held a 15-6 advantage in shots with a 5-3 edge in shots on goal. Both teams had three corner kicks in the match. Knutsen tallied four saves in goal for American.
