The Scarlet Raptors out-shot the Garnet, 16-8, and held a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks, but Evers scored the game's lone goal late in the second half. He settled the ball outside the top left side of the box and fired a 25-yard shot the curled into the upper right corner. His second goal of the season was assisted by sophomore midfielder Michael Nafziger (Crozet, VA/Western Albemarle).
 
Evers nearly scored in the game's 16th minute,  but his point-blank header was saved by Raptor freshman goalie James Brett (Palmyra, NJ/Palmyra). Brett finished with that one save on the night, while Swarthmore senior keeper Tyler Zon (Wellesley, MA/Noble and Grenough) had three saves to earn the shutout.
