Lancaster Bible then took the lead for good in the 66th minute on an unassisted goal by Marcus Benner (Waldoboro, PA). Kyle Zook (Lancaster, PA) made it 3-1 in the 71st minute and Cory Greiser (Quakertown, PA) followed a pair of goals just 58 seconds apart (74:59 and 75:57) to seal the deal.

Coach Joshua Beers assessed it like this: “We played a sluggish first half, but we really were pleased with our second half effort. Today was a battle in hot weather of two teams trying to rebuild their programs. I was encouraged that we made some nice adjustments at halftime and really finished off the game in the second half. Zak Kraehmer gave us a huge boost in the midfield and Kyle Keltner's (Menomee Falls, WI) steady play in the back made a big difference today. We are getting production from a lot of different people, and it is exciting to look forward to the challenge on Saturday.”
