Just before the half would end. Kevaughn Harris would get his 1^st goal of the game to put Schoolcraft up 2-0 going into the half.

Shortly into the 2^nd half, Muskegon would be shown a red card, but it would take until the 71^st minute for Schoolcraft to capitalize on it. Harris would score his 2^nd and Schoolcraft's final goal of the game in the 71^st minute.

For the game, Schoolcraft would outshoot the Jayhawks 20-1 but would not succumb to a shot on goal as Alexander Heitsch would get the start and win in goal without having to make a save.
