HOW IT HAPPENED
- Though it was a back and forth affair between Emerson and Lesley, it was the Lions who were offensively able to create more scoring chances.
- The Lions continued to force the issue and found their shots being saved at the last second by Crutchfield.
- Early in the first half, junior Creighton Dorfman (Northbridge, Mass.) latched onto a corner kick, which was headed towards the top corner, only to be saved.
- The pressure continued into the second overtime where Dziejma forced the issue down the right wing, cutting back on the end line multiple times and playing crosses that ultimately did not find an Emerson player.
