Highlights: The game was tied at halftime before the sides went back and forth with scoring chances to start the second half. Nudd made a huge save off the crossbar to keep the game scoreless, and then with 17 minutes to play, the Tide finally found the back of the net. Using some great passing from Silverstein to Plante, the ball finally made its way to Martinson who was all alone to slot home the only goal of the game.
