Bloomsburg responded with back-to-back goals in the 35th and 42nd minutes to take a 3-1 lead heading into halftime.  Brett Milden (35') and Austin Transue (42') scored for the Huskies.
 
In the second half, Holy Family tallied its biggest offensive outburst of the season.  Junior Jovan James (Elgin Town, Jamaica) opened the scoring with his third goal of the season in the 56th minute.  James delivered a shot to the right side of the net after collecting a loose ball in front of the goal.
 
Hiltwine recorded the equalizing goal in the 73rd minute taking advantage of a Bloomsburg foul inside the box.  Hiltwine went on to convert the penalty kick for his second goal of the season to tie the game at 3-3.
 
With less than five minutes to play in regulation, the Tigers scored the go-ahead goal thanks to senior Dan Trodden (Warrington, Pa./Archbishop Wood) who fired home a shot off a deflected shot.  Bloomsburg initially blocked a shot by senior Connor Stackhouse (Warrington, Pa./Central Bucks South) but Trodden was there to collect the rebounded shot for his first goal of the season.
 
In the final minute Stackhouse delivered the knockout blow with a goal of his own to give the Tigers a 5-3 lead in the 90th minute.
