The Seawolves would strike first in the 16th minute when junior forward Louis Sehr (Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire) capitalized on a delivery from Jil-Emmanuel Sehr (Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire). Neither team found another scoring opportunity for the remainder of the half as the Seawolves entered the break 1-0.
In the second half, the Seawolves extended their lead when first-year forward Chandrel Laza (Westbrook, Maine) collected the ball off a rebound to put it by the NHTI keeper in a second attempt. The offensive attack continued at the 75-minute mark when J. Sehr netted his sixth of the season with help from L. Sehr.
