The 1-0 score stood going into halftime.

After an even back-and-forth effort from both teams through the first 20 minutes of the second half, senior midfielder Shane Serio scores an unassisted goal to extend the Monarchs lead to 2-0 in minute 66. A yellow card was issued to Delaware Valley's Amos less than a minute later.
