Aquinas took advantage of a penalty kick in the 52nd minute, despite an initial save by UNOH keeper Jack Cook, with the WHAC's leading scorer netting on the rebound to take the lead 2-1. Just 37 seconds later, the Saints notched again taking control of the game 3-1. The Racers got one goal back in the 61st minute with Natxo Sanchez bagging his team best seventh goal of the season, but UNOH couldn't break through again falling 3-2 on the road.
