In the second half, Quincy needed to pick up the offensive intensity in order to get back in the game. The Hawks managed just four shots in the first half. QU was able to create over triple that amount in the second half with 13. 

The Hawks got on the board in the 81st minute. Kingsford Adjei collected a deflected shot for his 5th goal of the season.

QU had a prime chance in the final two minutes of the game. The Hawks played a free kick from 40 yards out into the box. Alec Roussin gained possesion of the ball but had a flat angle to the goal. Roussin tried to sneak his shot in towards the near post, but it deflected off the bar.
