From there, Gavin Reid one-touched the ball past approaching BU keeper Bernie Roell (Douglassville/Daniel Boone) for a 1-0 lead.

The Griffins would keep the Huskies at bay for the rest of the half as Bloomsburg fired off eight shots in the half, putting one on frame.  Seton Hill took six shots in the half, only one making its way on net.  Bloomsburg had four corner kicks in the half to Seton Hill's five. 

Less than five minutes into the second half Bloomsburg would even the game at one a piece.  Alex Ruhfass (Newtown/Council Rock North) set up the goal when he ripped a shot that was deflected by the Chestnut Hill keeper.  Fran Miller (Doylestown/Central Bucks East) followed up on the shot and headed the loose ball past the scrambling keeper for a goal. 

34 scoreless minutes would go by before the Huskies broke the tie as Ruhfass connected on a perfectly placed shot into the right upper corner, giving BU a 2-1 lead.  Nate Conrad (Enola/East Pennsboro) was credited with the assist as he set up the play on a through ball pass in the middle of the box.

Bloomsburg held on to the one goal lead to win their fourth game of the season.  BU goalie Bernie Roell (Douglassville/Daniel Boone) came up with one save in the game while his counterpart, Mike Goldestein from Chestnut Hill made three.
