How It Happened

• In a scoreless first half, Hamilton produced six shots while Ithaca tallied four.

• Less than eight minutes later, the Continentals added to their lead on a goal by Peplowski. Hamilton earned a corner and Ehrenfreund crossed it into the box where it was knocked out by the keeper. Peplowski got to the rebound and his shot deflected off a defender in white before it settled in the back of the net.
