Notre Dame jumped out to an early 3-0 lead thanks to a Mitch Ferguson first-half hat-trick. The first goal would come in just the seventh minute as the senior stood over a free kick about 25 yards away from the net and fired a shot that found the back of the net. Ferguson's next two goals would come off of corner kicks as the ball found his feet in the middle of the box both times for easy tap-ins.
 
Jadid would get the Raiders on the board in the 73^rd minute. The Freshman kept the ball in play on the left wing before dancing around multiple Notre Dame defenders, before sending a shot around the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.
 
Wright State would get its second goal with just over a minute left in the match. The Raiders sent a cross into the box that was only cleared out to the edge of the 18-yard box, where Edwin Espinal-Elvir was waiting and fired a half-volley that grazed a defender and ended up in the back of the net.
 
In the box score, the Raiders fired 11 shots on the night but converted on both shots on target. Shayne Abrams, Charlie Carpenter, Oneil Mitchell, and Nadav Youdkevich all made their first career starts for Wright State, and Uleto Fuentes made his first start of the 2025 season.
