Cam Webb scored the opening goal of the game to give NGU an early lead, but UMO would dominate the remainder of the half, scoring seven straight goals to lead 7-1 at halftime. After each team put up a goal to begin the 3rd quarter, the Crusaders would go on a run, scoring five consecutive goals to pull back within one goal.
