Frostburg had its best opportunity in the first half in the 29th minute when freshman Andrew Jenkins' header sailed just high of the cross bar from 10 yards out. Sophomore Nabayee Tesfu also had two shots saved by Barsch.
 
Jenkins had another header in the 82nd minute and freshman Brett Basham flicked a header on goal with just over four minutes to play. However, Barsch stopped both attempts as the contest headed for extra time.
