Game Information 
As the wind kicked up with the start of the game, both Mount Olive and Emmanuel seemed ready for a battle. Emmanuel College scored the first and only goal of the game, six minutes into the first half off of a long shot that made it just over the UMO keeper's fingers. The Trojans responded by having the next five shots in the game. UMO defense shut the Lions down the rest of the half, leaving them to trail 0-1 going into half-time. 

Emmanuel College started the second half with intensity getting a penalty kick early on, but did not capitalize.
