STANDOUT PERFORMERS
KEY MOMENTS

  • The score stayed that until seven minutes into the second half when Schofield made a long journey from midfield, weaving through defenders with the ball before finishing with a rocket that extended the lead to 2-0.
  • SNHU widened the gap to 3-0 late in the 69th minute when Beaumont tapped to Sikkema, who sent a bomb from 25 yards out that sailed into the top left corner.
