The Warriors finished with 14 shots to the Royals' seven and held a 6-5 advantage in corner kicks, while Scranton drew three more fouls in the game.
 
Charlie Smith notched 10 saves for the Royals in the shutout. First-year Jace Bennett (Falling Waters, W.Va./Spring Mills) had three saves for the Warriors.
