Federico cut the deficit in half in the 72nd minute when he picked up a free ball and snuck it past Purchase keeper Noah Colantuono. His goal would close out the scoring in the contest.

William Raftery (Throggs Neck, NY) got the start in net and made two saves in the first half. James Green (Waldwick, NJ) played the second frame and made one stop for the Mount.
