Goalie Sarah Morrison had 8 saves.

David Suzel drilled a shot from 15 yards out on an assist by Ryan Silvert.

Suzel closed out the first-half scoring when he put back Abeo Miller’s blocked shot attempt. Early in the second half, Zeke Hardman scored on an assist from Silvert. With 28 minutes left in the game, Carey Dixon assisted on a goal by Kevin Carr. Brock GunderKline made it 8–0, followed by a goal from Kevin Sikes-Gilbert and assisted by Todd Sheets.

Early in the second half, Greeneview increased its lead to 2–0 on a nice shot from the right side. With 15 minutes remaining, James Butler lofted a pass from the right side of the penalty box to Brock GunderKline, who headed the ball into the Rams’ nets to bring the ’Dogs within 1. But six minutes later, the Rams scored what would become the game winner on a free kick just outside the penalty box. Despite a late goal by Suzel, the Bulldogs lost by 1.
