The first half saw neither side crack the scoreboard. Lander held the Hurricanes to no attempted shots while the Bearcats put 2-of-6 shots on target in the first half.

Both Lander and Georgia Southwestern would trade blows in the second half.

The Bearcats would take the lead in the 68th minute of play after Charlie Bushby scored on a penalty kick.

The Hurricanes would strike back in the 73rd minute as they found an open man in the box to score the tying goal.
