THOUGHTS FROM COACH FINOTTI
" I thought we were really good today. We controlled the game. Belmont is a big physical team. Samuel Murar scored his first career goal with a tremendous strike as time ran out. I am really proud of our guys."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• In the 46^th minute, Belmont's Lucas Wolthers scored off an Oscar Hough assist.
• With one second on the clock, after a long service into the box from Presbyterian's defensive side of the field by goalkeeper Tim Baerwalde the ball eventually bounced from a Belmont defender to Murar, who blasted a shot off the right post into the back of the net, tying the score at one. Murar's goal was the first of his career.

.
NOTABLES

• Presbyterian finished the game with a 9-4 advantage in shots and a 6-1 advantage in shots on goal. Steven Cordova and Iragi Kalala tallied two shots apiece. Adrian Buri, Aloni Elfu, Daniel Dalehaug, Thomas Stofring, and Murar each recorded shots.
• In the 65^th minute, Presbyterian nearly tied the score when Kalala's shot banged off the left post and trickled across the goal mouth, but Belmont goalkeeper Grant Calvert corralled the ball before it crossed the goal line.
