The Bobcats played an aggressive game as they outshot their opponents 23-9. ESF scored early at the 5 minute mark to put the Bobcats on their heels.Sean Latimer (Hampshire, England) answered the call as he struck right back to tie the score 1-1. Yussef Olajide (Brooklyn, NY) scored the winning goal on a trick play early in the second half. Lenior Sery (Wooster, MA) provided the insurance goal late in the second half to preserve the victory. “This was a tremendous result,” Bobcats coach Nick Dimitrievski said. “They were an older team comprised of juniors and seniors but our speed of play broke them down. I attribute our mental toughness which helped increase our speed of play and preparation for such a team”
