- Freshman Tyler Shrewsbury put AIC on the board at 9:33 of the frame, set up by redshirt sophomore Avery Foye.
- Scoring was hard to come by early in the second thanks to good defense at both ends; a Le Moyne goal at 3:14 was answered exactly two minutes later by redshirt sophomore Jason Vickery, who took a pass from Foye at the top of the crease and fired it home on an extra-man opportunity. However, three late tallies put the Dolphins up 12-2 at the break.
