Cumberlands opened the game with the first shot on goal, recording it in the 11the minute of play. UC had a free kick chance that was blocked by the Blue Raiders, but the Patriots retained possession. The ball got played out wide to Joel Drewery, who sent a hard shot just wide of the box that LWC's goalkeeper collected.

In the first 15 minutes of the game, Hart had to make a pair of saves. First in the 13^th minute, Lindsey Wilson had the ball on the left side of the field. Their attacker tried to slide the ball past Hart on the back post, but he made a quick reaction foot save to clear the ball away. The next save from the senior came just two minutes later when LWC fired a shot from outside the 18-yard box. Hart dove to his right and pushed the ball away from harm's way.

The score was tied 0-0 after the first 45 minutes. Hart made two more saves in the second half before the Blue Raiders got on the scoreboard. In the 83' LWC had possession on the right side of the field. They slotted a ball on the edge of the 18-yard box where their attacker had space. It was just enough time for the ball to be sent to the top right of the goal past a diving Hart.

UC almost found their equalizer a minute later from another shot from Drewery on the right side of the field, but LWC's goalkeeper made a leaping save just pushing it to the side of the goal.

Lindsey Wilson earned a free kick barely outside the 18-yard box on the left side. They hit the ball with precision to the near post where they had an attacker running on, just needing a deflection the ball crossed the goal line to put LWC up 2-0 in the 87th minute, putting the game out of reach for UC.

The victory makes Lindsey Wilson the Regular Season and Tournament MSC Champions marking the first time since 2011 this has occurred in the Mid-South Men's Soccer Tournament. This is just the third time all season UC has been shutout with two of those happening against the Blue Raiders.
