cross from McGarry with 31:09 remaining in the opening half. The Devils
came out strong in the second half and knotted the score just 3:23 into
the second stanza when Yaly Kloepper scored off an assist from James
Durkan. The Devils assumed a 2-1 lead when Durkin scored on a corner
kick with 37:41 remaining in the contest.
