HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a challenge to stop a forward and an awkward bounce of the ball left Cameron McFarlane (Norwich, CT / South Kent) out of the goal, Colin Foley sent a high arching shot that went just inside the right crossbar at 21:42 to give the Wasps a 1-0 lead
• E&H's Nickolas Taylor tacked on the second goal just 47 seconds later.
• The Tigers started out the second half playing more aggressively and Hunter Weiland (Raleigh, NC / Heritage) finished off a Ryan Turner (Raleigh, NC / Sanderson) pass in the 67th minute to draw within one.
• Just over four minutes later, H-SC was forced to play man down the rest of the way. The Tigers were able to mount a few promising chances but were never able to capitalize.
• The Wasps came within inches of their third score of the contest at 81:50 but Brandon Jones (Chesapeake, VA / Grassfield) cleared the ball just before it crossed the goal line
