* The score remained tied until the 61st minute when Jefferson regained the lead with a goal by Devin Sullivan.  Sullivan's shot from the left side hit off the cross bar and ricocheted into the back of the net for the score. 
 
* Holy Family had an opportunity late with a corner kick attempt in the 88th minute.  The Tigers were able to get a shot off but went wide right on the shot attempt.
