"I thought it was a rough beginning, but the guys responded well in the second half," said Head Coach Christian Figueroa. "We gave up an early goal in the second half to go down 2-0, but the response and energy of the guys in the second was a lot better. Overall, we know we have some things to work on and have room for growth."

The hosts took a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute when Alex Murry sent in a shot from 25-yards out that avoided the outstretched arms of Austin Kroll (Baltimore, Md.), off the crossbar and in.

Kroll made the only save of the first half in the sixth minute, while the Hawks outshot the River Hawks 8-1.
