Kishbaugh found a loose ball off a corner kick and shot to tie the game, 2-2, just over a minute later.

DSU's Jonathan Balfour scored twice before the end of the first half to put the Bulldogs up 4-2.

In the 47th minute Rob Wiacek passed to Pinto in the box, but the pass was just too far ahead of him.
