Harvey ran down the right side of the field after taking a pass from his brother, freshman Jeff Harvey (Reading, Mass.) scoring in the game's sixth-ninth minute.

Freshman Massogui Samb (Dakar, Senegal) also notched the first goal of his collegiate career in the contest.

Freshman goalkeeper Matt Esposito (Wallingford, Conn.) and senior goalkeeper Alex Capousis (Annapolis, Md.) each split net minding duties on the day. Both made two saves and allowed a goal in their respective halves of duty.

Senior Chris Nugent (Camberley Surrey, England) scored both goals for Rivier College.
