Baldwin Wallace took the lead at the 19 minute mark with a goal by Braden Lamb, and kept the lead for most of the half until the 43rd minute mark where

Phoenix Gewlas to give Capital a much needed goal before the half.
In the second half, Baldwin Wallace struck early with Nathan Gray scoring a goal to give the Yellow Jackets a 2-1 lead at the 50th minute mark before Capital would answer back 7 minutes later with a BW own goal created by great play from
