HOW IT HAPPENED
- 9' | Holland Rula dribbled towards the center of the pitch and sent a ball to the top of the box that Jake Swallen ran on to. Swallen took one touch and then slotted a shot just past the outstretched hands of Christian Garner.
- 40' | Set up on a free kick 25 yards outside of the box, Kristofer Konradsson sent a ball towards the goal and Sigurdarson ran on to it and was able to flick the ball with his head past Cole McNally.
- 48' | From just behind midfield, a ball popped over the Wake Forest line and Konradsson ran on to the ball. After two touches, Konradsson fired a left-footed shot from 30 yards out that snuck inside the far right post.
- 85' | A corner kick was headed out to the edge of the box but Kijima was able to knuckle his shot in one motion, placing the ball inside the right post.
- 89' | David Wrona got the ball inside the box but then he cut back and centered it to the top of the box for Kijima. Kijima looked Garner off and sent the ball back the direction it came, putting it inside the right post.
