Senior Abrar Shamim began pushing up the offense from the start, resulting in senior Jan-Erich Sacken scoring the first goal for DV.

The Warriors continued to play to their best ability, not allowing the Cougars to capitalize on offense. When the time on the clock ran out, the score was 1-1, resulting in sudden death overtime to determine a winner.

With six minutes left in overtime, senior Trevor Martin scored the final goal, allowing the Warriors to win the District 2 title.

Earlier that week the Warriors lost to Williamsport 1-0, which resulted in DV not moving on to the State playoffs.
