Some of Hobart's best scoring chances came in the first half. With 15:06 left in the first, sophomore
Kyle Patrick blasted a shot on goal that was saved by Young, but the rebound bounced out and senior
Patrick Schulz just missed connecting on it. With just under two minutes left in the first, sophomore
Tristan Cornell Roberts broke through for a one-on-one with the keeper. He drilled his shot on goal, but Young made the save with his left leg.

Cortland almost got on the scoreboard second half. With just under eight minutes left, Cam LaVallee evaded multiple Statesmen defenders for a one-on-one with the keeper, but his shot from about four yards out was denied by Kaminer. With under two minutes left in regulation, Migell Ormsby drilled a hard low rolling shot on goal from the top left corner of the box, but it too was saved by Kaminer.
