Nunnery would add another goal later in the game, and Hayden Thomas added a goal on a penalty kick, as the Arrows blanked the Yellow Jackets, 3-0.
The Bulldogs and Admirals were locked in a scoreless game all the way to overtime, but Nygel Jobe broke the scoreless tie, tucking a shot into the corner of the net in the extra frame. Jeison Ramos added a goal on a PK, and the Bulldogs won 2-0.
