The goal wasa long curving shot from outside the 18 yard line. Bethel then got a goal for insurance in the 75th minute when Brandon Peplinski got a goal past Dordt keeper Jordan Huisken for the 2-0 final off an assist from Johnson. The goal came off a deflection off the goalkeeper's hands.

Huisken made two saves in goal for the Defenders while Kevin Kelly and Nick Kantor combined on the shutout for Bethel.
