Flagler improved to 1-0-1 on the season while Anderson fell to 0-2-0. This was the first win in the series against the Trojans. Flagler came in 0-1-2 all-time against Anderson.
Cosgrove got things started for the Saints with his goal in the 13

That would be all of the scoring in the first half.
Simeon Wickli scored his first goal of the season when he knocked in Gallitz' cross in the 49
th minute. Gallitz wasn't finished. In the 64
th minute, he sent a cross into the box where Cosgrove headed the ball in to give Flagler a 3-0 lead.
Caleb Austin scored the final goal when his free kick from around 30 yards out was too hard to handle for the Anderson keeper as the ball squirted through his hands and into the goal.
Anderson had taken a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute when a sliding Lars Zimmerman scored off of a through ball from Andre Carle, but was whistled for being offside denying the tally.
Lex Craggs recorded three saves and earned his first shutout for Flagler. Devon Ashby collected one save for the Trojans.
