FC subbed in its junior varsity in the second half, after varsity starters Johnny Moore scored two goals, and Greg Queen, Kemo Verdin, Hoby Mullins, and Zayne Mullins a goal each. Both Mullins cousins had an assist each.

In the girls’ game,  keeper Macy Ziskin was automatic with eight saves and the shutout.

Si’Edriq Middleton and Harley McKay each scored two goals apiece, while junior Krislyn Kent netted one goal.
