Michael Suski had a first-half brace and Stefan Sigurdarson picked up three assists while Christian Garner made five saves for the shutout.

HOW IT HAPPENED

6' | Stefan Sigurdarson got the ball at the top of the box and worked to turn on the defenders covering him. Once he opened up, he slid a pass to the left to Suski who fired a shot back across the box to the far post.
20' | Amos Shapiro-Thompson carried the ball down the middle of the field and slipped a short pass to Suski. Suski took one touch to the outside and then placed his shot under the crossbar.
70' | Sigurdarson dribbled the ball through the box and was able to get off a left-footed shot that Detre Bell made a save on. The rebound fell to the left post where Dickens immediately slotted it home.
82' | Carrying the ball up the left flank, Sigurdarson was able to hit Konradsson with a pass as he entered the box. Konradsson deftly placed his shot between the goalkeeper and the post
