CCNY got on the board first, as Jamal Bagigah found the back of the net with assists coming from Muhammad Zakari and Samuel Nkama, to put the visitors up early in the 18th minute.

The Bulldogs would answer back quickly, just five minutes later in the 23rd minute, when sophomore Drilon Sahitaj (Brooklyn, NY/Brooklyn Studio) found an open senior Ruslan Alabashev (Feasterville, PA/Neshaminy), who made the most of his Senior Day by striking home the equalizer into the top right corner of the goal.

The score would remain tied 1-1 until the 57th minute, when CCNY's O'Neil Kerille Bruno took advantage of a deflection off of a Brooklyn defender to beat the keeper one-on-one for the eventual game-winning goal.
