Noah Brill made it a 2-0 game in the first half, scoring his first goal as a Prairie Star off of a Federico D'Andrea assist. The two attempted a similar play from the right side just minutes later that would be stopped by the Peacock's goalkeeper. Sergio Crescenzi, approaching the goal from the left, was able to tap it in for his first goal.

UIS led 11-1 in shots upon the end of the first half.

Upper Iowa started the second half with some fire, immediately attempting a shot that resulted in a miss. The Peacocks would come up fruitless after two corner kicks and two throw-ins in the first several minutes.

Or Levinstein continued his offensive momentum, striking in the final ten minutes with the assist going to Federico D'Andrea once again. Noah Brill made an attempt at a second goal but was called offsides.
