The fourth Engineer score was on an own goal by a Robert Morris – Springfield defender in the 78^th minute, with freshman Brad Holland (Prospect, Ky./North Oldham) making the score 5-0 under a minute later, scoring for the first time in his short college career on an assist by fellow freshman Mitchell Ishmael (Knoxville, Tenn./Farragut).
