HOW IT HAPPENED

The game started with the Hounds on the front foot, putting the pressure on the Staten Island defense. A foul was won towards the top of the box, a perfect setup for left footer Johannes Sundgot, who curled it into the right side of the net for a 1-0 Hounds lead 9:27 into the first half. Just six minutes later, the Dolphins won a penalty kick, which was put away by Daniel Angulo, tying things up. The Hounds won a penalty kick nine minutes after that, which Sundgot stepped up and put away, giving him two goals in the first half. The lead would remain with Assumption up until the break.
 
Staten Island started on the front foot, with Miguel Espinosa taking on the whole team and scoring, slotting a slick shot past the keeper. It only took four minutes for Assumption to respond, with Grant Maurer pouncing on a rebound off of a save from a Daniel Paulsson shot, suitable for his first collegiate goal. The Dolphins still would not go away, as Espinosa got his brace from a free kick curled into the top left corner. The Dolphins, down to ten men at this point, held off the waves of Assumption attack for as long as they could. With four minutes left on the clock, Sundgot's cross found the head of Peter Hasund, giving him his first Assumption goal and the winner on the day. The Hounds would hang on, 4-3.
