The Ravens took that 1-0 lead into halftime intermission. Rosemont controlled the pace in the first half, firing off six shots compared to zero for the Highlanders.
 
In the second half, Crosse went to work again for the Ravens, this time collecting a deflected ball inside the box and firing a shot to the low side to make it 2-0 Ravens just over two minutes into the second half. In the 72^nd minute, the Ravens extended their lead when CSAC-leading goal scorers Kaiden Fields scored to make it 3-0. Cairn senior Josh Goodyear (Camp Hill, PA / Camp Hill) tried to get Cairn back into it with a header that trickled along the goal line in the 79^th minute, but Rosemont was able to fend off a late Highlander push to seal the victory.
