At 57:43 in the second half, the Pride were able to even the game at 1-1 after Jack Rosenberg (Simsbury, Conn.) fired a free kick past the UMass-Boston defense for the score.  The Beacons would regain the lead with 3:18 remaining in the game as De Andrade narrowly snuck in a shot for his second goal, which proved to be the game winner.  Chris Prizio (Trumbull, Conn.) made two saves in the setback.
