- The Panthers made it 3-0 with 9:59 remaining in the half as Shane McLaughlin converted a crossing pass down the end line by Jacob Johansson for the tally.
- Assumption got on the board with 12:25 left as junior Ethan Morrow (Huntington Beach, Calif./Fountain Valley) converted a penalty kick opportunity for the 3-1 final as this marked his first goal of the season. The PK chance was the result of an Adelphi handball in the box.
