• Neil Langan was the first player to put a crooked number on the board for either team. Langan received a free kick from Seamus Quinn in the 22' that he headed in the bottom right corner of the goal, 1-0 NU.
• In the 34', a bevy of bodies near Northwood's goal would result in a blocked shot ricocheting off a Northwood defender and into their own goal, 1-1.
• Saginaw's Jonathan Monney was a big part of SVSU's offense, Monney totaled 5 shots and a goal in the 48' to put SVSU up 2-1.
• Another mistake by the Timberwolves would occur in the 51' as a Northwood header would result in the ball bouncing past the goalkeeper into the back of NU's net, 3-1 SVSU.
• Northwood would not go down without a fight, although the Timberwolves were more than doubled in the number of shots taken, 19-8, the ones that were taken mattered. 
• Quinn would then put the Timberwolves on his back as he scored two unanswered goals in the final 30 minutes. His first goal came in the 59' via an Oliver Jarvis cross while his second came eight minutes later in the 67'. Amedeo Crovasce would be awarded an assist to help the Timberwolves make it 3-3.
