Cairn (3-2-1) and Cabrini (4-3-1) engaged in a defensive battle early, with neither team yielding a goal in the first half.

The Highlanders collected an insurance goal in the 74^th minute, as Brittain continued his brilliance, scoring his eighth goal of the season after chipping the ball to himself over the goalkeeper inside the box to boost Cairn's lead to 2-0, a lead that would become the final score.
 
Cabrini out shot Cairn (9-8) in the contest but the Highlanders bested the Cavaliers in shots on goal (4-3). Both teams earned four corner kicks on the day. Senior goalkeeper Kameron Clark (Ewing, NJ / Ewing) collected four saves on the day.
