The game was a defensive battle between the two teams. The Flames and Wildcats combined to put just three shots on goal.

Scoring Summary
15' – LIBERTY – Musa Morris (Seth Clark)
Turning Point
With Liberty leading 1-0 late in the first half, Davidson had a chance at a scoring opportunity with a corner kick. Off the kick, Jack Wilson's shot attempt was blocked. Defender Quinn Dudek collected the loose ball and fired a shot from 25 yards out over the top of the goal, keeping the Flames in front. After that opportunity, the Wildcats were not able to pressure the Flames on the attack until late in the match.
