That was the final attempt of the afternoon in match that featured just 17, seven of which were on target.
Bruno Mestres (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Mackenzie Tambore) made four saves for his second consecutive shutout, the final of which came in the 73rd minute.
McKenna, whose assist was his first of the season, was joined in the back-four by
Bogdan Stere (Bucharest, Romania/Lycée Français Anna de Noailles),
Ricardo Paniccia Giraldez (O Porriño, Spain/IES Pino Manso) and
Jarrett Lalli (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan).
