Sophomore Thomas Geyer (Havre de Grace, Md./Harford Tech) won a challenge down the right sideline and crossed a ball into the box to set up the game-winner, as senior Kenny Clapp (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) caught it and lifted it across the box for a waiting Magee, who smashed a low liner into the right corner of the net.
 
The Warriors (2-2-2 overall) got on the board in the third minute, when senior Joe Bamfo (Lake Grove, N.Y./Connetquot) got behind a defender and was able to send a cross to a waiting senior Jaeden Asare (Letterkenny, Ireland/Perry Hall (Md.)) in the box and Asare closed out the goal with quick shot to the left side.
