The Eagles fought hard throughout, shooting seven times. They were led by Trent Siedenburg's two shots on goal. Goalkeeper Agazi Birkner had 10 saves, preventing many Geoduck goals early in the game.
 
However, in the 78^th minute, Evergreen finally found its scoring mark with a goal from Mitchell Balmer. They finished it off when Philip Gyamfi scored a goal in the 90^th minute. The Geoducks shot 22 times in the match.
 
Northwest head coach Gary McIntosh commented, "I was happy with our effort today, but we struggled connecting passes and doing anything in the final third.  Our final third play has to get better.  We are looking forward to training this week."
