their three goals. Felipe Nascimento scored his ninth goal of the season and
Joel Salazar scored his fifth of the season. Joao Mendes also had an assist.
Josh Brooks ended the match with a total of three saves. The Tigers are now

and fought the adversity we were dealt with but we could not find the back
of the net,” said head coach Ken Kirsch. SGC is 5-4-1 after the loss to
Andrew.
