How it Happened:
The Lions started slow as the effects of three games in four days may have had some effect, but did not take long to get warmed up. After the first goal came from another Creasy Lopez set up, Chase Vilga put his third of the season away in the 21st minute and the Cougars were broken. Things got even more difficult for Medgar Evans when their top defender was ejected in the 35th mintue for stopping a clear goal scoring chance.
