After a quite scoreless first half, the Pirates got on the board first off the back of a Joseph Min goal off the foot of a Sam Bjork cross into the box. Sophomore midfielder Til Kauschke would add two more goals to The Hall's tally, eventually securing a 3-0 Seton Hall win at the end of 90 minutes.
