The Bulldogs took the lead in the 17th minute when sophomore forward Robert Dawson (Manchester, England) scored his first goal of the night. Three goals were scored in a four-minute span late in the first half. The Pioneers scored the first two, with junior forward Paul Hopkins (Portsmouth, England) scoring, and DeMartini picking up his second, heading in a cross from Watt to give TC a 3-2 lead.
