TURNING POINT OF THE GAME
The Red Flash held possession the majority of the first half out shooting the Blue Devils 5-1. Mitchell III gave Saint Francis two great opportunities to put one between the posts during the first half: One with a defender on missing just wide left of the goal, and the other as a high kick from a Connor O'Keefe header. Following the first 45 minutes, both teams were scoreless, but the Red Flash had the momentum on its side after holding control of the ball the first half.

To start the second half, Volkan Celikkol put the pressure on the defense dribbling the ball into the box, sending a cross towards the goal for Harry Elmore before missing just wide. Seven shots were taken on goal before one hit the back of the net for Saint Francis. Mitchell III started the two goal frenzy but chipping the ball over and past the CCSU's goalkeeper giving himself an advantage on goal and putting it between the posts. Thirty seconds later, Wolf put one in for a the 2-0 go-ahead off the Mitchell III assist from the far right back corner of the box. The Red Flash finished the half with a 2-0 shutout win over CCSU.
