HOW IT HAPPENED

First Half:

Chowan and Francis Marion battled in the opening minutes for possession.  Bradley Binns ripped a shot in the 14' that missed high.

On the first attempt by Francis Marion, the Patriots would find the back of the net into the top left portion of the goal in the 18' for the 1-0 lead.

In the 31', James Randall had a shot saved from the left hand side of the goal.  Bradley Binns played a ball up the middle of the box to Randall allowing his attempt to bounce between the feet of the FMU keeper and into the back of the net for the equalizer in the 32'.

Both sides were shown cards in the first half as the teams searched for the go-ahead tally.

Second Half:

FMU continued to put pressure on the back line sending shots towards cage that would sail high or wide.

The Patriots nearly found the go-ahead goal in the 68' as the attack on the back post forced Harri Lovett to keep the attack at-bay.

In the 72', Tren Drexhage would work hard for a corner.  Harri Lovett sent the corner to the back post and found Leke Ademola for the go-ahead tally.

The Hawks would play the final 9:25 a man down after a red card was shown.  The Patriots were given a free kick just outside the top of the box.  The shot attempt would be blocked by the wall.

FMU continued to put pressure on the Hawks as a pair of shots in the 83' would be turned away after a sliding save by Charlie Farrar.  Another attempt in the 85' would be punched away by Farrar and cleared away by the backline.

The Patriots would find the whole in the defense after the initial save by Charlie Farrar would be corralled by a Patriot and sent a shot into the back netting for the equalizer in the 87'.

FMU would be given a penalty in the 88' that would be easily saved by Charlie Farrar to secure the draw.

Chowan had a chance in the 90' as the free kick by Harri Lovett was settled by Tren Drexhage that would be missed wide.
