HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Drons nearly got the hosts on the board early as his shot in the third minute of play hit the post. In the ninth minute, Wentworth had its first bid with senior Luke Williams (Guilford, Vt.) putting a shot on net.
  • Drons had a pair of shots saved by senior Luis Quintero (Boston, Mass.) before breaking through at the 19:39 mark after a pass from senior JD Santiago (La Plata, Md.).
