Jovani Ramos (Valley Stream, N.Y.) with 21 seconds remaining in regulation grazed the right post and went wide, much to the dismay of the home fans. Molloy also nearly scored in the 19th minute when Merrimack's goalkeeper Jose Silva came out too far, which allowed Molloy redshirt-junior
Joey Pinto (Lynbrook, N.Y.) to dribble past him. In a miraculous deflection, Silva swatted the shot away diving from behind Pinto.
