The Lions scored the game's first goal today and found themselves locked in a low-scoring battle with the Britons, with the two teams tied at three-all at the half. The Lions scored three unanswered goals in the third quarter, however, part of a five-goal unanswered scoring streak. Mike Murphy (Crestwood, KY/South Oldham) scored his second goal of the game with 10:43 on the fourth quarter clock, to put the Mount up by an 8-4 score. Rain and lightning strikes halted play in the game with 6:26 remaining, and after a one hour and 13 minute delay, the two teams took to the field again. Albion scored with 3:00 and 2:30 to play, to cut the Mount lead to 8-6 but would get no closer.
Chris Uselmann (Carmel, IN/Westfield) led the Mount with three goals and two assists while Will McClanahan (Cincinnati, OH/Madeira) chipped in two goals and two assists. Cody Nolan (Mason, OH/Mason) made 12 saves in the win. The Lions out-shot Albion, 38-33, including 21-18 in shots on goal.
