How It Happened
 
* James scored both the game-tying goal and the game-winner for the Tigers.  Trailing 3-2 late in the second half, James received a cross pass from the left side from senior Mariano Cepeda (Philadelphia, Pa. (Argentina)/Roman Catholic).  He then connected with his first goal of the season to tie the game at 3-3 in the 81st minute to send the game into overtime.
 
* Holy Family nearly ended the game in the first overtime period but a shot by senior Connor Stackhouse (Warrington, Pa./Central Bucks South) hit off the cross bar in the 92nd minute.  Fast forward to the second overtime period, Stackhouse started the game-winning play with an outlet pass to freshman Sean McCormick (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) who then found James for the game-winning shot in the 106th minute.
 
* Freshman Mohamed Elgayar (Philadelphia, Pa. (Egypt)/Northeast) scored the game's first goal to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute.  After the Clippers tied the game in the 32nd minute with a goal from Andy Acevedo the Tigers responded in the final minutes of the the first half.  McCormick found the back of the net with a shot from the left side beating the Concordia goalie.
 
* The Clippers tied the game and tooke the lead in the 72nd and 74th minutes with goals by John Reed and Dennis Limani.
