Stony Point did fight back cutting the score to 6-4, but then midway in the second half McKinney took control and went on to post a 15-8 victory. Clark finished the game with 8 goals and 2 assist, Jack McKane also added 2 goals and an assist, Tyler Kovacs, Johnny Santos, Brent Weltner, and Jack Tighe also scored a goal apiece.

From that point on Johnson only touched the ball one time the rest of the game and never attempted another shot. McKinney defenders Alex Zywicki, Conner Wilcox, Will Nevotti also stepped up big in limiting the opposition’s ball move. Defensive midfields Shane Puckett and Matt Stein forced numerous turnovers that aided McKinney’s fast break opportunities. McKinney goalie Jacob Moran posted 16 saves in goal in the win.
