The other two goals came from junior midfielder Colby Quiet and freshman midfielder Sebastian Foresi.
 
The Buccaneers of Massachusetts Maritime Academy finished the first quarter with three straight goals to make it a 7-3 game heading into the second. Keene State would add another seven goals in the quarter while only allowing two. Cioffi scored his other three goals, Maccarini added two more and both junior attacker Andrew Miller and freshman midfielder Tim Souza each scored their first goal of the game. The Owls went into halftime up 14-5.
 
After Massachusetts Maritime opened the third quarter with two straight goals, Quiet ended the Buccaneers' streak with his second goal of the game at 9:00. The Owls and Buccaneers traded goals throughout the remainder of the frame. Maccarini picked up his final two goals of the game, while Massachusetts Maritime scored twice.
