Game Recap: Lancaster Bible came out firing on Sunday, and took six shots in the first eight minutes of the game, including Chad Tolson's shot that rang off the post. The Chargers kept up the pressure and continued to put shots on the goal, but Wells also began to counter down the field, and earned a corner kick with just under 20 minutes to play in the first half.
 
Justin Butler's corner kick curled near the goal line at 26:40, and Kevin Schrank was there to get a touch on the ball, and give the Express a 1-0 lead at the 26:42 mark. Both teams had shots and a corner kick in the final 18 minutes of the first half, but it was Wells who went into halftime with a 1-0 advantage.
 
Trailing by a goal for the second straight afternoon, Lancaster Bible once again pressed for the equalizer early in the second half, and unlike Saturday, they got the goal they wanted on Sunday, as Jared Jordan was left alone in the box right in front of the goal, and a pass from Rusty Risteen found him, and he deposited the ball into the back of the net to knot the game at 1-1.
 
Just over six minutes later, Tolson took a pass from Nathan Muckle, and drilled a shot into the top right corner of the goal from 24 yards out to give the Chargers a 2-1 lead. Fifty-six seconds later, Tim Nyce dribbled down the field and through defenders, and was left open at the top of the box, and put the ball into the lower left-hand corner to extend the lead to 3-1.
 
Sophomore Rama Mugisha put the game away at 84:51, as he received a cross from Dan Bewersdorff and netted his third goal of the season.
