HOW IT HAPPENED

After their first shot on goal in the second half was sent away, the Black Knights kept at it and eventually broke through in the 66th minute when O'Shea came charging to the ball after an Epps' shot was blocked and put it away to give Army the 1-0 edge.
The shutout remained intact as the Army defense limited the Knights to two shots over the first 35 minutes of the second stanza.
In the 82nd minute, Fredinho Mompremier found a cutting Jacob Labovitz and he buried a shot into the back of the net to help FDU knot the score up at one.
With a minute and 30 seconds left to play, Mompremier was battling an Army defender in the left corner and after warding him off, took aim at the net and scored the game-winning goal.
