KEY MOMENTS
- The Blue Devils opened the scoring just over 15 minutes into the game off a corner kick. The kick was sent in and Skonieczny had his shot slip past the Bulldogs' defense and goalkeeper at the near post to make it 1-0.
- CCSU doubled the lead with just over eight minutes before halftime. Skonieczny pounced on a giveaway by the Bryant defense and slipped a low shot to the far post past the goalkeeper to make it 2-0.
- Senior Khalid Rose made it 3-0 at the 64:41 mark when he picked up the ball just outside the penalty area and dribbled through the Bryant defense and unleashed a left-footed kick from the left wing to the far post for his first career goal.
- Central tacked on a goal for good measure with just under 10 minutes remaining. A free kick from the left sideline skipped through traffic and came to freshman Kyle Halehale, who was unmarked, and he settled the ball and put his shot into the back of the net to make it 4-0.
