• The tide of the contest turned after intermission as Randolph-Macon seized control of the game from the outset
• Macon peppered the goal often in the second frame and had a shot go off post, off the back of Cameron McFarlane, and then saved by McFarlane in the 48th minute
• R-MC drew a corner kick in the 56th minute and Bryan Lutz's shot went off the post but Peter Nelson corralled it and put it in the back of the net just seconds later
• McFarlane made several great plays in net over the rest of the half to help send the game to overtime
