The Homecoming crowd erupted as the Mounties scored early in the 2^nd half, appearing to take a 2-1 lead only to have the goal called back as a result of an offside call. Zane Brennan scored in the 52^nd minute to give Acadia a 2-1 lead. The Mounties pushed hard for the equalizer but could not tie the game in the end.

Acadia's keeper Michael O'Flynn was named the Subway Player of the Game.
