The Greyhounds found the first goal of the game late in the first half as Gibbs collected an attempted clearance by Etown and passed it to Weiss in the right corner. Weiss hit a service into the box and Etown’s junior goalkeeper Kelvin Del Cid rose up to meet the ball. Del Cid, however, could not cleanly handle the cross, falling to Nicholas who buried it into the back of the net for the one goal lead heading into halftime.

Brubaker collected the ball at midfield and knocked the ball into the middle of Greyhound’s penalty box. Letsoalo rose up and headed the ball down to Groh who fired home the tying goal, forcing overtime.
