@North Myrtle Beach - 3
Myrtle Beach - 1
Typically hard fought match. All goals were scored in the first half. Myrtle Beach has a solid midfield and back line, but just couldn't seem to connect with the forwards, whereas NMB was pretty solid all around. NMB's center back (#19 I think?) cleaned up everything that came his way and commanded the back four beautifully, and their goalkeeper came up big on a number of occasions. The second half saw a period of Myrtle Beach pressure for the first 15 minutes, but NMB coped and looked dangerous on the break. Neither side had too many shots towards the end, partially due to some sloppy passing and some great last ditch tackles. I believe a Myrtle Beach player was red-carded towards the end for dissent, but I don't know if it was his second yellow or a straight red.
The officiating was fantastic as well, as far as SC goes.
