After two quick goals by Reisterstown, Grote made a laser-like pass to Brendan Wilkerson for another score. Owen Gerus' unassisted goal made the score 4-2 at the end of the first half.

Gerus opened up the third quarter with another unassisted goal by plowing down the middle of the field and taking a bounce shot that handcuffed the Reisterstown goalie.
