BlueWater had an excellent scoring chance early on. Nik VanBilsen crossed the ball to the middle of the field. Matt Cservik controlled the ball and was tackled just outside the Norwest box for an Indirect kick. VanBilsen touched to Stephen Blysniuk whose high arching shot sailed high and wide of the top corner.

Norwest counter-attacked and were rewarded when the left BlueWater defender was beaten and the Attack player crossed the ball. A hard charging Attack forward headed the ball past a surprised Mario Hudson in the Blaze net.

BlueWater tried to regroup and tie the score when Daniel Vallee blasted a shot that was saved by the Attack keeper and cleared to safety. 1-0 Norwest at the half.

Coach Arthur offered encouragement to his players at half-time and BlueWater started strong. A ball deep in the Norwest zone was run on by VanBilsen, his left footed cross to Jordon Walsh resulted in a good opportunity but Walsh was unable to finish.

BlueWater continued to press and a throw in was won by the Blaze. Walsh made the cross to Dilly Ohuegbe who corralled the ball, turned and fired a hard shot off the Attack post! A hard charging Jenelle Labadie gathered the rebound and chipped the ball high over the outstretched reach of the Attack goalie and the Blaze had knotted the score at 1.

Norwest did not wilt and forced the ball deep into BlueWater territory a mad scramble in the 18 yard box was eventually cleared and the score remained tied.

With 10 minutes remaining in the game BlueWater was looking for the win and continued to pressure the Norwest defence. Captain Marcus Dusseault twice raced in from his Midfield position but his shots were just over the Attack cross bar both times.

Four minutes remained in the match when Walsh received a pass, went wide outside to VanBilsen who sent a cross in the middle to a streaking Matthew Doidge. Doidge collided with the Attack keeper and the ball sailed into the goal! But wait a whistle? Offside Blaze and the score remained at 1-1.

Dusseault was able to win the ball shortly after the offside play, he sent a pass in the middle to Walsh who again went outside to VanBilsen again Nik crossed the ball and the keeper made a nice play to bat the ball away, however Ohuegbe was "Johnny on the spot" and buried the ball inside the far post for a 2-1 BlueWater lead.

Arthur made some late defensive substitutions but the Blaze were hungry to score with time running down. A ball won in the middle by Dylan Wardell was sent to open space and Ohuegbe was there first. A solid pass to Labadie and the shot sailed just high over the bar. The ref blew the whistle and BlueWater was rewarded with a 2-1 win!

BlueWater's next game is July 9 @ home against Cambridge United.
