Lindsey Wilson controlled much of the play, outshooting the Bears 25-5 for the match, including an 11-2 advantage in shots on goal. Both totals are season highs for the Blue Raiders.

Lindsey Wilson goalkeeper William Diaz had a relatively easy night, collecting a pair of saves for his third shutout of the season.

Mwape was active early, with a pair of shots and a corner kick in the first seven minutes of the game. He broke through in the in the 12th minute with an unassisted goal for the 1-0 lead. Ultimately, the goal would be Mwape's team-leading third game-winning goal of the season. The three game-winners are tied for the second most in the Mid-South this season.

The Blue Raiders maintained their 1-0 lead into the halftime break.

It was more of the same in the second half. After an 11-1 shots advantage in the first half, the Blue Raiders outshot the Bears 14-4 in the second frame.

Bikoya added insurance with his first goal of the season in the 58th minute. Mwape provided the assist to give the Blue Raiders the 2-0 lead.
