Last Time Out
In the first half, it was a struggle for the Warriors to bypass the Chargers defense to get a good shot on net. The Warriors were held to only two shots attempts in the half by Joseph Briers (Lincolnshire, United Kingdom) and Julio Leon Garcia (Caracas, Venezuela).
Merrimack's offense started to come together in the second half after a shot from Ronald Ried (Schwendi, Germany), but the Warriors' defense could not stop Matheus Sousa from scoring the in 86th minute on senior keeper Jose Silva (Northborough, Mass.). The keeper played all 90 minutes in the net and collected two saves.
