Senior attacker Marcus Dietz (Westerville/St. Francis DeSales) gave the Bishops the lead just under 2 minutes into the game, and just over a minute after that, it was Del Zotto with his first of the day, thanks to a pass from sophomore midfielder Luke Leyden (Northfield, Mass./Northfield Mt. Hermon).  Less than 90 seconds later, junior midfielder Derek Todd (Edina, Minn.) made it 3-0 with an unassisted goal.

Wittenberg got on the scoreboard with a goal by T.J. Smith at the 9:53 mark of the quarter, but Ohio Wesleyan responded less than a minute later with Harvey's first goal of the day, this coming off a pass from sophomore midfielder Derek Bacchiochi (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township).

Sean Kelleher brought the Tigers within 4-2 midway through the quarter, but the Bishops countered with goals by Maier and Del Zotto just 23 seconds apart, with Maier following with a goal for a 7-2 Ohio Wesleyan lead.

Harvey and freshman attacker Max Tennant (Englewood, Colo./Cherry Creek) added goals during the final 2 minutes of the quarter to extend the margin to 9-3.

Dietz, Tennant, and Del Zotto rang up goals early in the second quarter to make it a 12-3 game, and scores by Dietz and Leyden offset a pair of Thomas Fuss goals for Wittenberg as the Bishops took a 14-5 lead at the half.

Maier had a hand in both Bishop goals during the third quarter, scoring the first and setting up senior midfielder Sean Roskamp (Chesterfield, Mo./Parkway West) on the second, and freshman midfielder Cole Jamieson (Okemos, Mich.) wrapped up the Ohio Wesleyan scoring with a goal during the opening minute of the fourth quarter.
