For the opening 42 minutes, the Cardinals (8-7-1/5-5 Mountain East Conference) and the Falcons (11-5/7-4 MEC) played an even match until Leonardo Paiva dribbled a couple times and belted the first of his two goals at 42:38. The Brazilian added a second score only 12:22 into the second half.
 
The Cardinals honored eight senior players – Aitor Iniguez de Heredia, JJ Hawkshaw, Sean Murphy, Matt Natal, Ryan McCann, Vince Faraji, Tom Walsh and DominickPalmeiri – before the match for their contributions to the program.
 
In a scoreless match, MicahTatebe saw his breakaway shot attempt saved (34:07) on a nice play by the Notre Dame keeper. Tatebe came right back with a second shot that flew just high at 37:23. The shot sequence proved to be WJU's last ones, before the Notre Dame first goal.
