How It Happened
• The Eagles got off to a quick start, firing their only shot on goal of the game 1:26 into the game as Spartan keeper Billy Bridegum was forced to make an early stop. The Eagles got the second shot of the game a little over two minutes later. From then on, the Spartans controlled play.
• On York's fifth shot of the game, the Spartans found the back of the net. Sophomore Aiden Wisley flicked a nifty pass to junior Michael Unis who headed the ball past Juniata keeper Andrew Yeich for the 1-0 Spartan lead in the 38th minute of play. The goal was Unis' first collegiate goal for the Spartans.
• York made it 2-0 in the 60th minute on a pretty goal. Junior Isiah Dorsey slipped a deft pass to on on-rushing Danny Morgan who slotted the ball inside the left post for the goal. The goal was Morgan's first of the year.
• The Spartans continued to carry the play the rest of the game but would be unable to increase the lead. York outshot the Eagles 11-3 in the second half including 4-0 in shots on goal.
