How It Happened

* The Firebirds added to their lead in the 19th minute when Raphael Pacano came through with his third goal of the season to make the score 3-0.
 
* Holy Family finally got on the board in the 31st minute when freshman Mike Smith (Southampton, Pa./Archbishop Wood) scored his third goal in as many games to cut into the Firebirds' lead.  It marked Smith's team-leading four goal of the season.  Freshman Matt Flanagan (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) picked up his first collegiate assist on the score as he set up Smith with a long pass down the middle of the field.
 
* All the scoring in the game wrapped up in the first half.  The Firebirds tacked on another goal in the 41st minute by Marcus Mottley, his first of the season, to grab a 4-1 lead heading into halftime.
