The team got off to a fast start with senior Xander Culbertson scoring early in the first half giving the Warriors a 1-0 lead.  The score stayed the same until halfway through the second half when Girard was able to tie it up off an own goal by West Branch..  West Branch took back momentum and for the last 15 minutes of the contest, played in the Girard end, but were unable to convert until Martucci's game winning goal.

Before the game the Warriors honored their teammate Remi with a moment of silence and releasing of balloons.
