Just seconds later Williams made a similar move, carrying the ball along the end line toward goal. Wormald came off his goal line to meet Williams and dove at the ball, wearing the shot from Williams directly in the chest to keep the deficit at one.

First-year Mohamed Adow (Auburn, Maine) recorded the Beavers first shot of the game in the 71st minute but was unable to get enough on the shot to get past Jonathan Walch. 

In the closing minutes of the game the Beavers had their best opportunity to tie the game. Cade McHugh (Little Compton, R.I.) took a corner kick from the left wing that was perfectly placed onto the foot of Dowse who got redirected a shot hard on goal but Walch made a spectacular save to secure the shutout victory.
