  • Merrimack struck back in the final minute of the half, finishing on a strong possession in the box. Sean O'Neill, set up at the top of the 18-yard box, fired in off of a short pass through a defensive flurry to tie the game up going into the half.
  • Mount Saint Mary's added its second in the 53rd minute, throwing a long ball in from the midfield. Controlled into the box, the Mountaineers finished on a rolling shallow ball for its second lead of the day.
  • From a corner kick, O'Neill's service was headed out of the fray down low and up to a waiting Dylan Barreria at the top corner of the 18-yard box with a rifling shot to the far post in the 75th to tie the game at two.
  • The Warriors headed to overtime again. In the 93rd minute Merrimack took a free kick that was sent through the midfield to a breaking Dylan Barreria.
