The two teams had nearly the same record, so the game was very close in spite of the score. Both teams charged hard on offense, but the Topper defense was the deciding factor to take the match 3-1. The game was very exciting with both teams having chances to score and play aggressive soccer. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
