Neither team scored again until there were under 10 minutes left in regulation play.  In the 82^nd minute, the Rangers put a shot toward the goal that banked off the crossbar and up into the air near the six yard box.

Senior CC Rinehart picked the opportunity and head the ball up over the opposition's goalie to tie the match 1-1 with less than nine minutes left to play.

In the 85^th minute, an unfortunate play caused a penalty kick opportunity for the Roadrunners which would barely get through Augsburger to the back of the net to gain the 2-1 advantage.
