Spalding remains undefeated at 8-0 in the SLIAC as Webster hangs onto fourth place at 4-3.

After 90 minutes of scoreless play, Spalding ended the contest when a corner kick deflected to a Golden Eagle forward, who's shot deflected off a player past Hertel (Sandpoint, ID/Sandpoint) at 97:58.  Webster and Spalding played to a 0-0 first half.  Spalding had the upper hand offensively in the scoreless frame, outshooting the Gorloks, 7-1, with Hertel making three saves in the half.  The Gorloks came alive in the second half.  After being outshot, 7-1, in the first, Webster and Spalding each had seven shots in the second half.

Less than one minute into the second half, Brendan Shields (SR, St. Peters, MO/Ft. Zumwalt East) ripped a shot from just inside the Spalding box that the Golden Eagle goalie made a diving save on.  The Gorloks' next best chance came when they had a free kick just outside the Golden Eagle box at 79:45.  Dino Music's (JR, St. Louis, MO/Mehlville) shot went wide right.  Music had another free kick, this time well outside the box, at 85:41, and lofted a shot right again. This time in hopes of a Webster forward getting a head on it, but the shot was wide.

In the overtime session, play went back and forth, with the Spalding goal coming on the first shot of the overtime period.
