Bears' freshmen Will Osgathorpe and Hugo Jonsson scored their first career goals for MSU, following up Josh Dolling's go-ahead goal in the first half.

"The team got off to a good start in the match and continued to get stronger as the game went along," said head coach Jon Leamy.  "It was truly a team effort win tonight with a lot of guys getting in and providing quality minutes for us."
 
Dolling opened up the scoring for the Bears in the 24th minute with his second goal of the season.  Stuart Wilkin sent a pass through the Roos' backline that found Dolling who slipped a shot past KC goalkeeper Filippo Errico to give the Bears an early 1-0 lead.
