The first half was a back-and-forth scoring sprint as both teams found the back of the net in the first 10 minutes.
It would be tied 3-3 at halftime, but that’s when the Southwest Dragons found their second wind.
The Dragons went on to score three goals in the second half, leading to a 6-3 victory and advancing to the regional round of the 5A playoffs.
