How It Happened
 
* Holy Family grabbed the game's first lead of the game when senior Mohamed Elgayar (Philadelphia, Pa. (Egypt)/Northeast) connected on his first goal of the season with junior Dakota Taylor (Willow Grove, Pa./Archbishop Wood) providing the assist on the play.  Elgayar's goal came in the 22nd minute.
 
* Felician responded 10 minutes later with a goal from Kevin Chavez to tie the score at 1-1.
 
* Within the next two-plus minutes the Tigers regained the lead when Taylor scored a goal of his own off a penalty kick attempt in the 35th minute.  It marked Taylor's second goal of the season.
 
* Holy Family held on to the lead up until the 79th minute when Felician was able to tally another equalizing goal; this time off the foot of Real Nix to make the score 2-2 and force overtime.

* In the first overtime period, Holy Family recorded the lone on-target shot from Elgayar in the 94th minute but Felician goalkeeper George Hernandez made the stop on the would-be game-winner.
 
* Felician outlasted the Tigers with the game-winning goal in the 107th minute.  Alex Avraamides came through with the final goal after senior Mark Tobin (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic (La Salle Univ.)) punched the ball out of the scoring area.  Avraamides managed to collect the ball and get a shot off from the left side.
