After 38 minutes of scoreless soccer to begin what would turn into a must-win game for Drew, its opponent struck first and struck often. Moravian scored twice in the span of 1:48 to take a dangerous 2-0 lead. The Rangers, however, avoided taking the dreaded 2-0 deficit into halftime when a Greyhounds foul was called in the box, prompting Giraldo to take the PK and put Drew on the board. The senior scored his fourth career goal on Saturday.
 
It took the Greyhounds just 1:40 into the second half to jump ahead 3-1. Over the next 20 minutes, the Rangers managed just one shot on goal. But that's also when Audi took over. The sophomore striker scored twice within five minutes, the second of which coming off an assist by junior Joe Sollod. The game was tied 3-3 with 15 to play.
 
During the final stretch, both keepers made two saves to keep it knotted up, forcing the fourth overtime game of the season for the Rangers. Drew outshot Moravian 6-3 in the 20 minutes of extra time, but both defenses held strong to keep the final score at 3-3 after double-overtime.
