HOW IT HAPPENED
First Half
The Chargers wasted no time getting the scoring started as they stormed to the first lead of the afternoon.
 
Oli Orzechowski's goal in the seventh minute of action pushed the home team to an early 1-0 advantage.

The Chargers managed just two first half shots, but Orzechowski's goal was the difference through the first half of action.
 
Second Half
UAH iced the match in the 69th minute when Phillip Seifert snuck a shot past the AUM defense to extend the Charger lead to 2-0. The shot was UAH's lone shot of the second half.
 
The Warhawks found a quick answer in the 74th minute thanks to a goal from Jamie Ward, his first of the year, but were unable to find a late equalizer.
 
AUM managed four shots in the closing five minutes, but three misses and a UAH save preserved a 2-1 win for the Chargers.
