The first half would come to a close with Cioffi's goal at 43:07. The Valiants would carry a 7-0 lead into halftime.

Devlin would close out scoring for the Valiants with a free kick goal at 69:37. The game would later be called and finalized at 83:59 due to darkness and the field not equipped with lights.
