Just seven minutes, Momeyer was at it again. This time he was in the right place at the right time, as a long cross from junior Jake Weiner was misplayed by the Ursinus 'keeper. Momeyer was waiting to collect the rebound and quickly tapped in from the left post to make it 2-0 a match.
Ahead 2-0 into the second half, Keedy put the match on ice in the 60th minute. On the counter attack, the junior forward broke away from the defense, a took a pass from French in stride and buried the one-on-one shot to give the Garnet a commanding 3-0 lead.
The Bears would get on the scoreboard in the 82nd minute thanks to an own goal, but outcome of the match was already a foregone conclusion as Swarthmore earned the 3-1 win.
