Senior Joe Valente (Franklin, MA) tied the game at 75:18 on a penalty kick and junior Harrison Deah (Monrovia, Liberia) scored the game winner at 86:55. Deah took a pass from junior Kevin Hageman (Albion, ME) and after beating his man, scored in the top left corner of the goal.

Senior keeper Brian White (Colebrook, NH) had three saves for the Monks.
