All three Haverling goals were scored by freshman midfielder Michael Rice. Rice finished the game with half the total shots for the Rams (10/20). Junior midfielder Mitch Fuller finished with a team leading five ground balls.
Gananda Head Coach Michael Pane later said, "We had a solid team performance, with much of the credit going to our defense (Brandon Smith, Dylan Joy, Kevin Schutt, Chase Reeves, Allyn Sanderson, Nick Smith and Brandon Ptak). With only three starters returning and having had no scrimmages, Gananda played much better than expected, and it is the first time in our three year Varsity history that Gananda has started at 1-0."
