STORY
The Tigers scored with virtually the last kick of the first half, scoring off a long throw-in play to go into halftime with momentum and the 1-0 lead. At the other end of the field, the Sabercats tried to generate chances but were left searching, and Grace looked to be in control at the halftime break.
The second half continued the trend, as Grace Christian rattled of 16 shots in the second act, scoring twice right after halftime to concentrate the scoring right around the halftime break to seal the 3-0 win.
