HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST SUSQUEHANNA
- Carlos Garcia attempted the first shot of the day for either side, despite the fact it was saved. The Mighty Macs' defense forced multiple Susquehanna shots to be off-target. A yellow card was assessed to the visitors in the 20th minute. Even with two River Hawks offsides penalties almost within two minutes of one another, the Mighty Macs could not capitalize on the errors. Luca Greppellini recorded a save as the half ended in a scoreless tie.
- Starting in the 57th minute, Susquehanna saw four missed shots before a header got past Greppellini for the match's first score. The Mighty Macs saw a few chances to tie, with Jonathan Olaleye's shot nearly sinking in. Greppellini denied back-to-back attempts in the 81st minute, but Susquehanna hit the dagger at 88:01. The River Hawks won 2-0.
