That 1-0 lead would hold for the majority of the second half, until Torres scored the equalizer in the 85^th minute. Torres headed a ball in from Bonola-Soriano to tie the game at 1-1 with just over seven minutes to play.
 
Both teams got the ball in their offensive end, with Penn having the final scoring chance of the game. The Wildcats shot sailed high over the goal as the Bearcats survived with a 1-1 tie.
 
Shots were dead even with each team recording nine shots. However, Saint Vincent tallied five shots on goal, compared to just two from the Wildcats. Corner kicks were 4-2 in favor of the Bearcats.
