Following a series offensive forays, freshman Noah Sheetz-Ziegel tallied the equalizer for Gettysburg, knocking in a pass by junior Tyler Shaffer in the 54th minute. The score was Sheetz-Ziegel's team-best third this fall.
 
Neither team would find the net in the next 30 minutes as the opposing goalies combined for five saves. After Franklin & Marshall keeper TJ White stopped a shot by junior Brooks Taylor in the 82nd minute, Darrell turned away an attempt by Sam Lane in the 83rd minute to preserve the deadlock.
 
The Diplomats found the touch in the final four minutes as Mike Irving converted the game-winning goal on a corner kick by Lane in at 86:06. Jared Bomba added the final tally off a pass by Lane with 12 seconds remaining.
