Riley Danko would take the shot, but the Devils would record their second save of the period. The offensive pressure by both teams would come to a stop for the rest of the period, ending 0-0.

The Devils would come back out in the third right back on the offensive, forcing two penalty corners within the first two minutes. The Chargers would respond with two penalty corners of their own at the 36:41 and 36:50 mark of the game. The third period would close with the Chargers searching for a goal, but the Devils stood strong defending three corners and three shots ending the period 0-0.

After a Lancaster Bible shot, it would be FDU Fordham to control the last period. A series of three corners and four shots would eventually lead to the fifth shot being the first and only game by FDU Fordham at 52:53.

Time would run out on Lancaster Bible as the lone goal would give FDU Fordham the win.
