Senior forward Alex Maric scored the match's lone goal in the 69th minute on a cross from sophomore forward Nate Whitehurst. Maric kicked the ball over the out-stretched arms of Anderson goalkeeper Andy Barth. L-R freshman Tom Gott in his first collegiate contest, stopped a pair of shots and picked up the shutout victory.
