Just over five minutes into the second half, Harmon found the back of the net for the second time, again thanks to a Wilsterman assist, on the first shot of the second half to push the Bloomsburg advantage to 4-0.
 
Shippensburg got one goal back in the 68^th minute to cut the lead to 4-1 before redshirt senior goalie Nathan Slotnick (Yardley, Pa./Pennsbury) stopped a penalty kick at the 7239 mark to keep the three-goal lead for Bloomsburg.
