Less than two minutes later junior Camry Huff (Waynesboro, PA/Waynesboro) nearly scored a goal for the fifth straight game after outrunning a defender and taking a shot that went just wide to the near post.

Sophomore Kyle Bentz (Camp Hill, PA/Camp Hill) saw his shot go high in the 62^nd minute and then Huff just missed the far post at the 74:13 mark with a fantastic chance. Huff led Wilkes with seven shots and three on goal.

John Timmes provided the winning goal for the Devils at the 83:49 mark with a blast from 30 yards out that stayed just under the crossbar.

Junior goalkeeper Tim Gallagher (Easton, PA/Notre Dame Green Pond) made two saves for the Colonels. Wilkes held the seven to three shots on goal advantage and had the five to one lead in corner kicks.
