The Eutectics came back with a vengeance as they score two more goals 40 seconds apart to take the lead, 3-2. Trying to tie the game, the Bearcat offense would dribble the ball down field where the Eutectic defense kicked it away to give BU a corner kick. Lance Dickens, with his 6'3 frame, headed a ball over the entire UHSP defensive line and into the net to tie the match at three apiece.

Unfortunately, the Eutectics would score in the 77^th minute for the 4-3 lead as the Bearcats failed to equalize.
