HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST KING'S COLLEGE

• Kings struck first just 16 seconds in, but Immaculata immediately flipped the script. Aaron Headley sparked the response with back-to-back goals, including a man-up finish, as the Mighty Macs capitalized on early opportunities.
• Immaculata's offense settled in quickly, moving the ball with purpose, while Jude Azzarano and Jason Smaron helped facilitate scoring chances. Despite a brief push from King's to tie it at 2–2, Immaculata closed the quarter on a 2–0 run to seize momentum.
