First-year Cody Savonen (Orleans, Mass.) made it a two-goal advantage for the Bantams when he blasted a shot into the back of the net from 15 yards away at the 49:59 mark for his second goal in two games.  Just under five minutes later, Trinity senior forward Christian Carrasquillo (Manchester, Conn.) increased the lead when he corraled a free kick attempt at the top of the box and connected from the left side of the net for a 3-0 lead.
 
Worcester State got on the board in the 58th minute when senior Alex Wolfel (Unionville, Conn.) registered his team-leading fourth goal of the campaign when he received a middle cross off a breakaway by classmate Brian Cormier (Hudson, Mass.) and fired it across the goal line for the 3-1 score.  Trinity added another goal in the 68th minute when junior forward Timothy Shea (Somerset, Mass.) headed home a free kick from first-year Mike Cooke (Boston, Mass.) for the game's the final score.
