The celebrations prior to the game would later be subdued when the contest began as Principia conceded an early penalty in the game which the Eagles capitalized on to take the lead. The Eagles would tag on another from a well taken strike outside the box to take a commanding 2-0 lead at the halfway mark. The second half held more promise for the Panthers following
Nate Waters looping strike which turned out to be the consolation goal as the Eagles added two more goals to put the game out of reach. Principia now travels on Saturday to Iowa to wrap up the season against Iowa Wesleyan at 3:00 pm.
