     McKendree cut the lead to 2-1 when Jay Stremlau (St. Louis, Missouri/St. Mary's) scored on a head-ball at the 76-minute mark. Bearcat Gareth Batchelor (Southampton, Hampshire/Tauntons) started the play with a corner kick into the box which Santiago Duran (Montevideo, Uraguay/) headed to an open Stremlau.

     McKendree pressured the Rivermen late in the game and scratched the game-tying goal with just 1:33 remaining on the clock. Bearcat Gareth Batchelor (Southampton, Hampshire/Tauntons) drove a shot from 25 yards out for the goal, tying the score and sending the game into overtime.

     In overtime neither team was able to get any scoring chances, leading to a 2-2 double overtime tie.
