The first half was a deadlock, leading to a 0-0 tie. Seton Hall had chances in the second and 16th minutes, but were unable to convert.
The second half was a different story, as both teams scored within 50 seconds of each other less than 10 minutes into the half. It was sophomore Spencer Burkhardt who came up with the goal off the assist by freshman Jonathan Jimenez. Xavier then answered in the 54th minute with a Samson Sergi goal to tie the match 1-1.
