The game started with a goal in the opening minutes by Junior William Cabrera, 1,0 Scarsdale. Mamaroneck quickly returned with a goal to tie the game.

Schneider completed his hat trick and returned the lead to the Raiders. Senior Captain Andre Cutrim added his first as the Raiders took a 8-6 lead before Mamaroneck returned to close the lead. Cabrera then gave the two goal lead back to the Raiders but Mamaroneck countered and tied the game up, then taking the lead. Adding another two before the end of the 3rd quarter, Mamaroneck lead 12-9. Mamaroneck scored again at the begging of the 4th quarter, but Cabrera ended the Raider's scoring drought as he added a quick goal. Mamaroneck responded with another two to make it 15-10 as Rolfe came back with a goal for the Raiders. Mamaroneck retaliated with three to quell the Raider's momentum, 18-11.
