In the 55th minute, Rockhurst tied the game on a goal by Kaleb Jackson. Rockhurst kept up the offensive pressure, including seven corner kicks in the second half.  

With under three minutes to play Sean Michel chipped a shot over the QU defense that crossed the goal line just before QU was able to clear the ball.
