The Orange responded with four consecutive goals to take a 5-4 lead with 6:05 left in the first quarter. Josh Amidon, Jovan Miller, JoJo Marasco and Coleman all recorded goals during the run. Mike Leveille tied the game with his first goal at the 5:27 mark before Coleman found the back of the net with 1:55 on the clock to give Syracuse a 6-5 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Coleman took over in the second quarter, scoring three consecutive goals to give the Orange a 9-5 lead with 5:02 left in the first half.

Nims then scored on an assist from Leveille 57 seconds into the fourth quarter to tie the score at 11-11.
