HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The Wildcats started things off right away when JP Rioux (Stony Point, NY) scored at 2:06. Riley Spotton (Ronkonkoma, NY) sent a cross pass over to Rioux near the box and put a shot past AMCATS goalie, Jeffre Donahue (Rockland, MA) for the quick 1-0 lead.
  • Johnson and Wales would not stop there after Riley McNicholas (Hopkinton, NH) increased the lead to 2-0 at 18:45. Rioux sent over a cross pass that found McNicholas near the net for the header past Donahue. The Wildcats went on to add three more goals in the half from Nick Gutekunst (East Northport, NY), Kevin Reilly (Norwood, NJ), and Jehon Balidemaj (Bronx, NY) at 33:28, 35:34, and 44:43 respectively.
  • Once the second half got underway, Johnson and Wales continued where they left off as they posted five more goals from Reilley, Gutekunst, Gianni Lisa (Emerson, NJ), Garrett Groeling (Nutley, NJ) and Esteban Osorio (Central Falls, RI). The Wildcats scored their goals at 46:01, 54:40, 63:14, 65:44, and 66:56 respectively.
