The Warriors would would find a fast response as Peyton Becker would take one in and fire it home.

Pocomoke’s offense would find its form in the second half though, starting with a rocket of a shot from the Mackenzie Mitchell off the right side. Then just minutes later, Mitchell would send a cross to D’nasia Jones would put one in. The Jaguars then turned up their intensity and would generate a couple good shots on goal, but Dom Farrace would come up with one great save after another for Pocomoke. The Warriors would then put the match away with a strike from Cristen Quillen off a loose ball in front of the cage.
