Piedmont drew blood early, cashing in at the 8:17 mark to take a 1-0 advantage with nearly 35 minutes remaining in the first half.

Through the rest of the half and onto the second half, each squad's defense controlled the field. Huntingdon fired off 8 more shots, keeping Piedmont off the scoreboard simultaneously through the rest of the match as they battled to even things up, but couldn't capitalize, falling 2-0 to their CCS opponent.
