In the 30th minute, Hayden Puryear netted his first goal of the season to give the Scots a 2-0 lead. 

The Scots extended the lead to 3-0 with a 34th minute goal by Andrew Sullivan, but the Blazers (0-2-1) broke the shutout two minutes later. Simeon Ekugwum scored his first goal of the year off an assist by Drew Lanke. 

Coming out of halftime down 3-1, the Blazers cut the deficit to one goal with a 51st minute score by Nicolas Cornejo. His second goal of the year was off a free kick. 

However, the Scots scored an insurance goal in the 82nd minute. Caleb Lucas scored his second goal of the year to make it 4-2, which would hold through 90 minutes.
