In the championship game against Kingsford, Marquette held on to a 1–0 halftime lead off an Ethan Sandstrom goal which was assisted by Isaac Johnson. Edan Hautamaki faced three shots in net in the first half. In the second half, it was all seniors for Marquette. Ezra Pickard scored from Evan Sysko on a free kick, Isaac Johnson scored from Max Dawson and then Pickard finished the scoring on a penalty kick.
“The seniors made their mark on this game in the second half. Evan, Max, Ezra, and Isaac were not going to be denied the championship. These guys worked hard. It was a great team effort especially from the defense. Particularly, Indigo Catalano and Hunter Sandstrom shut down the middle of the field. Each year we win this, it puts more pressure on the next year and I couldn’t be more proud of how this team responded. We are a young team and we came along way from the start of the season.” Coach Dan Salmon
