But Flagler countered as Eoin Cassin (Dublin, Ireland/St. Declan’s College) scored his first collegiate goal moments later, off a rebound, in the 76th minute.

The Ospreys put the game on ice almost immediately when Frank Dinzey, who assisted on the match’s first goal, scored off a pass from Springer off ready for play following Cassin’s goal, and beat Flagler’s keeper to give UNF the 3-1 lead. The goal was 14 seconds after Flagler’s goal.

UNF’s Mark Sergio scored the first goal of the match when Dinzey, who stole the ball from a Flagler player, found him cutting in from the left. Sergio took the pass from 15 yards out and deposited it into the left side of the goal in the 20th minute.
