Caesar Martinez made sure Farmingdale did not score on their second. A few minutes later,
Quinn Tynan led
Ryan Kieser up the left sideline who crossed a ball into
Ryan Alvarado, seamlessly scoring to take the lead back 2-1. The Knights forfeited another goal to the Rams three minutes after as the score was 2-2 midway through the first half. Both squads were kept in check for the remainder of the half as this one looked to be a high-scoring affair.
