The lead would stand until the 75th minute when the Bears put two markers on the board. Senior midfielder Sawyer Fleck (Foxboro, Mass.) sent a corner into the box and classmate Prince Collins (Boston, Mass.) got off a shot that was redirected by a Ram defender into the net for an own goal at 74:12.

Bridgewater quickly regained possession off the ensuing center restart and Collins split the defense with a thru ball from 35 yards out. BSU sophomore forward Filipe Gomes (Fogo, Cape Verde) ran onto the ball and beat the Framingham netminder one-on-one for his team-leading fourth goal of the season.

The Rams had their chances late in the game including with 2:40 left when junior midfielder Andy Segura (Haverhill, Mass.) had a clean look off a corner kick, but his bid sailed just over the crossbar.
