The Witches came out very strong and aggressive in the first half and found the Windjammers napping a little, allowing a 3-0 lead for Brewer in the first half.
Braden Carr put the Witches on the board at 29:14 with an assist from Ashton Reardon. At 18:46, Cade McKenney took a pass from Colby Smith and just like that Brewer was up 2-0. Charlie Brydges scored at 8:45 on a header with an assist from Pablo Garcia to close out the scoring in the first half for Brewer.
Camden Hills Charlie Pons found himself with just one defender between him and the goal keeper. A quick fake to the left, and Pons was past the defender and struck the ball to the far corner from Brewer keeper Grady Vanidestine at 5:15. The half would end 3-1 Brewer.
There was no difference in the play of Brewer in the second half, however, a different Windjammer team came out of the half time break and with less than two minutes in regulation tied the score 3-3 to force the overtime minutes.
Pons struck again at 24:50 to make it 3-2 Brewer.

With time running out Camden Hills put on the pressure, and Ben Schenk found himself open in the front and buried the ball at 1:46 left in regulation. Despite a couple of scoring chances, neither team could score again forcing the overtime.
In the first overtime both teams defensive players got a workout, and the ball traveled up and down the field with neither team having any real opportunities to score.
The second five-minute overtime was moving along at the same pace until a penalty was called against Camden Hills. At 3:49 of the overtime, Brewer junior Andrew Hodgins perfectly placed a direct kick to the opposite corner of the goal that went sailing past the diving Windjammer keeper Benjamin Tohanczyn for the winning goal.
