THE LEADERS
•
Aidan Muller (Cape Town, South Africa/Putnam Science Academy) scored the game's lone goal for the Bullets.
FOR THE FOES
• Rishi Pathak recorded two second-half shots for the Blue Jays, providing a spark of ball control in the second half.
THE REST OF THE STORY
•
Aidan Muller took the ball away near midfield off an attempted clear off a Hopkins' defender. He carried the ball to the top of the box before moving slightly to his left and firing home a shot into the right side of the net for a 1-0 lead at the 12:41 mark.
• The Blue Jays carried play for the majority of the final 30 minutes but the Bullets packed the defense into the box and didn't allow the visitors a great look at the potential game-tying goal.
THE INSIDE STORY

Leandro Ribeiro (Bahia, Salvador City, Brazil/Putnam Science Academy) needed to make two saves for the shutout win.
