How It Happened: The game would prove to be a physical one from the start as both teams would push to find a break in the defense. The Chargers opened with several shots on goal trying to turn up the offensive tempo. Only a total of eight shots were recorded for the first half with the Chargers having five of them. Despite the up-tempo speed, the game would go into halftime scoreless.
The second half was a different story. Sophomore
Matthew Eufemia received a ball on the right side of the box from
Ben Nolt to give the Chargers their first goal of the game in the 48
th minute. Feeding off the newfound energy,
Owen Nell would place a screamer into the goal on an assist from
Sam Glock, pushing the lead to 2-0. Keeping the Bison on their toes, the Chargers wouldn't let up on the attack, and a corner from
Andrew Cox would find senior
Tanner Shertzer who would place a header into the back right of the goal, extending the lead to 3-0. With the game in control, and with no sign of turning back, the Chargers would finish the contest with just one more goal for good measure in the 88
th minute on a
Jackson Shreiner goal from
Andres Godoy.
By the Numbers: The Chargers outshot the Bison 10-6 with 7 of those being on goal… they also had 5 corners to add to their offensive attack… both teams registered three saves each.
