Frido Spiegel started the scoring onslaught less than a minute into play. Jonathan Burns followed that up just a few minutes later, scoring off a direct free kick from nearly 35 yards out. The brothers Yokley gave the Warriors the edge they needed, with Vincent tapping in from a Burns corner kick and Nathan following up a rebound that played off the Valwood goalie. Just like that, the Warriors were up 4-0. Valwood scored once before halftime and twice more in the second half, leading to a tense last 15 minutes of play with the Warriors clinging to a 4-3 lead.
In the end, the early scoring was enough for the Warriors to hang on.
