Fellow sophomore Zack Masciopinto (Arlington Heights, Ill./Buffalo Grove) received a touch from junior Jimmy Jameson (Fairfax, Va./Oakton) and scored for the fourth time this season and gave the Tartans a 1-0 lead.

Early into the second period, sophomore Philip Petrakian's (Redwood City, Calif./Sacred Heart Preparatory) shot hit the post and seconds later, a shot by freshman Jacob Moskowitz (Wilmette, Ill./New Trier Township) was saved by Blue Streak keeper Liam McIntosh.

A corner kick for John Carroll in the 69th minute resulted in a header by Justin Paalman but it was off frame.
