How It Happened

  • The Continentals earned a corner kick with just under 20 seconds remaining in the match and rushed to take the kick quickly.  Hamilton had its initial shot blocked following the corner before Brady Hyland '29 sent a pass to the left side of the six-yard box for Tracy. The sophomore used his first touch to knock the ball into the bottom-right corner of the Utica goal and give the Continentals their first lead with 1.9 seconds remaining on the scoreboard.

  • The Continentals created a chance in the 21st minute. Oliver Mylon '29 received a pass at the top of the box and struck a one-time, right-footed shot that curled towards the top-right corner of the Utica goal, but was punched away for a corner kick by goalkeeper Cian LeVasseur (10 saves).
  • Hamilton tied the match off a corner kick in the 39th minute. Zander Laidlaw '28 drove a cross to the center of the six-yard box where Aidan Falvey '28 headed the ball into the bottom-left corner of the net.
