HOW IT HAPPENED
- Antino Lopez found himself with the first good scoring opportunity of the match in the 16th minute, but his header sailed just over the crossbar.

- The Blue Devils earned the first corner of their own in the 31st minute but the cross made its way through the penalty box without any further danger presented.

- At halftime, the Blue Devils held a 6-2 advantage in overall shots and a 3-0 edge in shots on goal.
- The scoring nearly started less than a minute into the second half, but Nick Pariano was unable to get a full shot on a cross, blasting his attempt right at the goalkeeper.
- The Panthers found themselves with two point-blank shots in the 61st minute, but Eyestone made two sprawling saves to keep the score knotted at zero. Â
- Bull Jorgensen forced a turnover in front of the penalty box in the 85th minute but the Panthers' goalkeeper made his sixth save of the match.
