The second Friar goal came at 37:29 after red-shirt senior Markus Naglestad. Sophomore Dominik Machado fed the ball to Naglestad who shot it into the bottom left of the net. Like Steeves, the goal marked Naglestad's sixth goal on the season. At the half, the Friars held the Hoyas scoreless with a 2-0 lead.
In 90 minutes of play, red-shirt senior goalkeeper Keasel Broome collected seven saves to keep the Hoyas without a goal. Broome recorded his fourth shutout on the season and 11thcareer shutout.
