Just one minute later, Clarence Awoudor drilled a shot into the body of Robert Valdimarsson but the rebound landed at Awourdor's feet for a second time and he was able to take care of business to put the Knights up 1-0.

In the remaining 16 minutes of the first frame, each team took one shot but neither attempt was able to find the back of the net.

At the end of the first half, UCF led 11-2 in shots and each side tallied two corners apiece.

The Knights pushed ahead in the 46th minute when Raphael Crivello's shot ricochet off the post into Hare's back which then trickled into the back of the net to make the score 2-0.

UCF extended its lead in the 48th minute when Emmanuel Bam netted the third goal of the match off an assist from Lucca Dourado to put the Knights up 3-0.

The Knights tallied two more goals in the 68th and 69thminutes to take the 5-0 victory.
