The Bengals also got single tallies from Matt Dunn (48th minute) and Ross Downie (55th minute). To provide the final margin, Ben Kluvers was awarded a penalty kick in the 71st minute after being taken down in the box.

Daemen will be back in action at home on Saturday, Sept. 14 to take on the Buffalo State College Bengals.
