Junior goalkeeper Jakeb Mitchell (Brockport, N.Y./Brockport) finished with five saves for the Bears. Lakers goalkeeper Brian Terra had five saves in the shutout as well on the afternoon.

The Bears generated more opportunities for themselves in the second half with three shots and four corner kicks early, but the Lakers reacted well to the pressure by the visitors.
