In the second half, the Mastodons increased their lead to 3-0 when Trevor Peaslee (So/D/Kalamazoo, MI) broke free, dribble into the box, and went top-shelf inside the right goal post.

IPFW finished off the scoring at the 65 minute mark. Craig Vande Vusse (So/M/Kalamazoo, MI) placed a perfect feed to a streaking Seth Fishelson (Jr/F/Beverly, MA), who chipped the ball over a prone Czuprynski.
