Less than three minutes later, Terry Peak found Martin Pettersson in front of the net, for Pettersson's 10th goal of the season, tying the match at 1-1. Almost two minutes later, Nsubuga's shot on goal was rebounded and put in by Nick Boyd, giving Francis Marion a 2-1 advantage. Pettersson and Peak later assisted on Victor Duncan's third goal of the season, noting the game at 2-2. The Patriots struck in the 47th minute to score the game's final goal, completing the 3-2 victory.
