Pacific took the lead just three minutes into the second half. Keola Norton received a through ball and beat goalkeeper Daniel Kirsch one-on-one to give the home team a 1-0 lead. The Loggers went on the offensive, outshooting the Boxers 6-3 the rest of the game while pushing for an equalizer. However, the team was unable to find a breakthrough, and ultimately fell.

The Loggers outshot Pacific 9-6, while also taking more corner kicks (6-3). Benjamin Whitham and Josh Sonico led the squad with three shots each, while goalkeeper Daniel Kirsch (9-6-1) made two saves.
