In the second half, Blackburn started off the scoring with a goal from Senior, Nate Kinnison.  Trailing Blackburn's goal a minute later MacMurray made a comeback with a corner kick and heads it in the goal to tie the game.  In the double overtime both teams had multiple shots but none found the back of the net.

Blackburn's Captain, Nate Kinnison quotes, "I think Coach and the team expected a much different result.  We must learn from this experience and give 100% in any game we play to get the results we want.  The team has moved on and now focused on tactics for Spaulding to keep working toward our next conference win."
