However, Wofford wasted no time finding the equalizer, scoring in the 15th minute when Magnus Kjoller scored on a header from a corner kick by Dennis Thaddeus. The Terriers then grabbed a 2-1 lead in the 22nd minute when Stewart Patnaud fired a shot past UNCG's Tim Baerwalde into the lower-left corner after receiving a short pass from Kjoller. Wofford tacked on another one to make it 3-1 in the 27th minute when Thaddeus scored off a through pass from Stewart.

In the second half, sophomore Arnaud Tattevin cut the deficit to 3-2 in the 73rd minute by glancing a shot off Wofford's Bryce Peacock and behind the goalkeeper, Leo Ledin, after receiving a pass from senior Jack Birch.
