Following halftime both teams would rally through the heat and through many shot attempts the Pacers defense managed to keep the Monarchs out of harm's way until the 60th minute when a Monarch corner kick would result in a header scored by Methodist's Lawson Lamm. A solo shot by Monarch player, Trevor Hendricks, would seal the deal in the 73rd minute with the Pacers unable to make any gains in the remaining minutes.
