- The lead didn't last long as the Hokies equalized the match 42 seconds later when Ricardo John put home a pass from Alessandro Mion.
- The Eagles regained the lead before the first 45 minutes were up when Lyons assisted on Balf's score in the 43rd.
- Lyons added some insurance shortly after halftime, putting home a rebound in the 48th minute to make it a 3-1 lead.
