Nielsen's scoring strike put him back in front on the team's scoring list with six goals.

Madison College added some more breathing room in the 68' with a three-on-two breakaway to resulted in John Soberon-Chehade sending a lead feed to a wide open Garcia, who kicked it back against his momentum and into the goal for his first career goal.
