The score remained level until the 55th minute, when Yannick Skull (Adelaide, Australia/Woodcroft College) played a throughball ahead to Matt Derise (Lafayette, La./St. Thomas More HS), whose sliding shot rolled through the bottom of the net for the eventual game-winner.  Jaime Garcia (San Salvador, El Salvador/Lincoln School) made four saves to earn the victory for the Bucs.  The Bucs out-shot Harding 16-11 for the game, including a 9-5 edge in shots on goal.
