Edward Kennedy headed the free kick toward the middle of the box and Manley's shot was deflected but right to Kennedy, who headed it past Huntingdon goalkeeper Trent Wineberg from inside the six-yard box.
Sewanee nearly put up another goal before intermission, with Loboda dropping a pass from down the right to
Ian Cox, whose shot from the top of the box was knocked away by Wineberg. The ensuing free kick was cleared away and
Holden Patterson's shot sailed wide right, ending the period with the visitors in front, 2-0.
Sewanee outshot the Hawks, 11-3, in the first 45 minutes, with Wineberg making four saves to the one for Vanhoeve on Huntingdon's only shot on goal.
Noah Bjorkman nearly scored for the Tigers in the 54

th minute, with Loboda finishing a cross from
Isaac Rasheed.
In the 74

Charlie Williams near the penalty spot, with McGowan beating his defender left and shooting just inside the right post for a 4-0 advantage.
