Senior Rashid Aroza came through off the bench just before halftime in the 44^th minute, giving the Bonnies a lead they would not relinquish. Junior Dean Mercer found Aroza streaking behind the defense and Aroza slotted a shot to the bottom right hand corner of the net.

Redshirt junior Matta Ferretti added an insurance goal for the Brown and White in the 78^th minute off a double assist from seniors Kenzo Brito and Umechi Akuazaoku.
