Javier Caballeros cut the deficit to 5-4 when he took a pass from Ricardo Valentini and found the back of the net. The game-tying goal came in the 88^th minute when Coby Wright lifted a long cross from almost in front of the SNU bench and dropped it about three feet in front of the goal next to a crowd that included Thomas. The sophomore then gave it the right push to make it 5-5.
