Carter McCracken scored the first goal in that stretch and he then set up Josh Arras for the other score.

Adelphi scored again in the early portion of the second half, but the Lions took advantage of another extra-man opportunity. This time, Jordan McKay found the back of the net after receiving a pass from Arras. That goal made the score 5-4, but it was also the last time that Lindenwood got within one goal.
