After four shots with one on goal up to the 35th minute, the Quakers found the back of the net.

Wilmington struck early in the second half in the 49th minute. The Quakers worked their way up from midfield before finding junior Jordan Domoe, who found sophomore Parker Burke. Burke worked around his defender and sent a rocket from his left foot into the back of the net for the 2-0 advantage.
