Graduate student Alex Morgret made a save on a shot by Brady Young in the 49^th minute to keep the teams level. White played a great ball towards the back post, but it was cleared away by the defense in the 64^th minute. Just two minutes later, Zach Walega had to make a save on sophomore's Jonathan Cui header from close range to keep the score tied.
 
White provided the game-winner in the 87^th minute. Graduate student Tim Treinen played a long ball into the Sea Gull box, that was played by the defense. The ball came right to White at the top of the box, and he chipped a left-footed shot over the goalie.
