Lance Berry, a game-time decision to start, swung the momentum in the Wildcats' favor with five minutes to play. Berry collected a long pass at the 18 and took a few touches before firing a shot on goal. Berry's shot was just over the reach of Schnieder and glanced off the crossbar and into the net creating the 1-1 tie.

As quickly as the Wildcats tied it, they took their first lead of the game with only 1:32 remaining. This time it was Nurnberger who took a shot at Schnieder. Schnieder made the first save but the rebound fell to Nurnsberger who placed the second shot into the cage giving Wilmington the 2-1 victory.
