-The remainder of the first half would be a tense game of chess between both sides. Brody Cook (Syracuse, NY) would get a pair of shots, both of which unable to convert. NEC would also get their fair share of shots, all of which saved by senior goalkeeper Jake Godwin (Norwalk, CT).
-Dean would get one final corner kick and shot at the half, but they once again could not score. The match remained scoreless after the first 45 minutes of action.
-After the break, Dean opened with the first shot of the second half. Raul Maldonado (Spring Hill, FL) took the shot, but it was saved by NEC keeper Lukas Tate. The Bulldogs would then rattle off five shots in the next 20 minutes, keeping the Pilgrims on their toes. NEC also had two corner kicks during that time span, being blanked by the Bulldog defense.
