The first goal for the Seawolves came in the 61st minute when first-year Carsen Cyr (Madawaska, Maine) found the back of the net on a header, assisted by first-year Joseph Hanlon (South Portland, Maine). SMCC continued momentum when junior Nicholas Shaw (Newport, Maine) scored an unassisted goal in the 82nd minute to give them a 2-1 lead. Rookie forward Josiah Irish (Gorham, Maine) sealed the victory for the Seawolves converting on a penalty kick at the closure of regulation.

Both teams had a similar number of shots, with CMCC taking 15 shots and SMCC taking 17. However, the Seawolves had a higher number of shots on goal, with 11 compared to CMCC's eight. This efficiency in front of the goal contributed to their victory.
