Furman’s first goal was at the 8th minute when Slade Starnes intercepted a pass in Furman territory and sent a long pass to Lloyd Wamu Snell who then was able to nail a shot from the left wing to the right side of the goal for the 1-0 lead. Furman Starnes then once again won a long throw-in in the middle of the box, then got it to Ivan Agyaakwah, who was able to get it past the Blue Hose goalkeeper to get the 2-0 lead and the Furman defense dominated from there.
