After Newman (2-4-3, 1-2-1 GAC/MIAA) took a 2-1 lead into the halftime break, the two squads combined for five goals in the second half, four coming in the final 10 minutes.
Marshall Prather led the Tigers (0-6-3, 0-1-2 GAC/MIAA) with his first multi-goal game of his career. He found the net in the 22nd minute in the first half and again in the 54th minute in the second for his second and third goals of the season and third and fourth of his career.
