The Bulldogs' Luis Canyon tallied the lone goal of the match in the 67th minute.

In all Long had six saves in the match.  JCC's Ricardo Zuniga did not face a shot directly on goal.
 
Both teams pushed the pace and tried to force the issue.  JCC was whistled for five off-side calls and McM for four. Jarvis held a 5-0 advantage in corner kicks.
