The second saw Cornell explode for 12 goals while shutting out the Wildcats to build a 19-1 halftime lead. For the third chukker, Liam Palacios and Ryan Saul replaced Shaw and Ignacio Masias. Cornell continued to build its lead and ended the third up 24-3. Ignacio returned in the fourth and replaced Lorenzo as the Big Red  cruised home to the win. Lrenzo Masias tallied 14 goals, Ignacio Masias had 10, Saul scored two and both Shaw and Palacios each tallied one.
