Salifyaji Mugala beat his man on the right side of the field and took a shot which was deflected by the keeper and tapped in by
Luan Bressy. The remainder of the game was hard fought by both teams, with 10 fouls committed by Bethel and 9 by Huntington, but the Pilots were able to hold on for the win, their 16
th consecutive victory.
