In the second half, Rowland assisted Connor Roberts on a free kick with 23:52 left to take a 2-0 lead, but the Big Reds caught up.

Joe Graziani got a loose ball on his foot and fired it into the net with 11:52 left. Then with 2:47 left, the Big Reds were awarded a free kick and Jaydon Fluharty converted it to tie the game at 2-2. Fluharty also set up a possible assist to Quinton Wright with a minute left, but the shot went wide of the net and the game ended in a tie.

The Big Reds hold a record of 1-0-1 during Rivalry Week, with the golf teams meeting on Wednesday afternoon.
