Hawks' Top Performers:
- Knapp was the saving grace for the Black and Gold, notching a half-dozen stops to keep the visitors from Wilmington, North Carolina off the scoreboard as he pitches his first collegiate shutout in his CSM debut between the pipes.
- The trio of Aydyn Meaders, Hayden Miller, and Marvin Bates-Williams all tied for the team's shot lead with a pair of boots apiece, whereas Meaders as well as Bates-Williams were the only ones to launch their attempts on-target, one each.
- Elsewhere on the pitch, veteran Zion Abdullah got a shot off while newcomers Xavier Lalanne, Josky Densie, and Shamar McKen all took aim at CFCC keeper Jayden Drum but they all missed the mark either high or wide.
