The Eagles flipped the script in the second half, as they dominated ball possession. Juniata would register a pair of quick offensive strikes in the 53rd and 57th minutes to tie the match at 2-2. A little later, Juniata would find the back of the net in the 75th minute to take the lead for good. Wyatt Page played a role in all three scores for Juniata, as the junior recorded a goal and two assists to lift the hosts to victory.
