Marist got on the board first as Duerr scored his first of the afternoon at the 12:19 mark of the first quarter.

Duerr would give Marist its second lead of the afternoon at 2-1 with 2:05 to go in the first on his second goal of the game. That was the last advantage the Red Foxes would see in the game, as Mount Saint Mary's would reel off four straight goals. Andrew Walsh (Liverpool, N.Y.) would score at the 3:24 mark of the second to cut the deficit to 5-3 heading into halftime.
Mundorf would score the first two goals of the third to open up a 7-3 advantage over Marist at 9:12. Mike McGuire (Lake Grove, N.Y.) would scored at the 7:24 mark, but the Mountaineers would score the next five to put the game out of reach.
