The score remained the same until 25 minutes into the second half when a Red Fox turnover at midfield gave Rhode Island a quick counter attack and two passes later it was 2-0. Marist pressed for the equalizing goals but with five minutes left in regulation, Rhode Island found space behind the Marist defense and slotted home the game's third goal for the 3-0 win.
