Mason would play the remainder of the game with a man advantage after Binghamton's Luca Bottoni received a red card late in the first half. They would attempt to strike early in the second half when Zizi had his rebound shot inside the box go just wide of the net after Zak Haapoja's scoring chance in the 51^st minute. Several shots also hit the post for Mason, including Hugh Roberts' attempt in front of the net after a throw in from Brice Colcombe in the 78^th minute of play.
