A few minutes later, MVCC doubled their lead on a spectacular goal by Tyler Deluca (Glenville, NY/Burnt Hills HS). The Hawks finished the first half by adding another goal, this time by Armin Mekic (Utica, NY/Proctor HS). The second half saw the MVCC score three more goals by David Gould (Frankfort, NY/Frankfort-Schuyler HS), Noel Nyakwamba , and a second goal by Deluca.
