Bethel had two more quality chances but could not convert as they outshot the Coyotes 5-1 in the first half.

Orozco scored his second of the game in the 69^th minute to give the Wildcats a 3-0 advantage. But, Bethel was unable to secure the shutout as the NAIA's leading scorer Arturo Guizar got the ball past Bethel goalkeeper Massimo Collu-Marchese in the 75^th minute.
