The last shot gave Kalamazoo a 1-0 lead as Romo slipped a pass over to Gillig, who deposited his team-leading fifth goal in the back of the net. The rest of the first half was primarily played in the midfield as the Hornets remained up 1-0 at halftime.

Kalamazoo continued to pepper the goal with shots early in the second half, but Olivet scored two goals in the 61st and 64th minutes to take a 2-1 lead.
