Momodou Jallow scored what could be the Cougars prettiest goal during the run of play on the year to open up the scoring in the fifth minute. Willie Wachutka crossed a ball that was volleyed just inside the right upper 90 by Jallow. Just over a half hour later Michael Ward, one of the six seniors to be honored on senior day found fellow senior Ebrima Badgie in the box who flicked the ball home. Less than three minutes later Ward again crossed the ball in the same area as his last cross, this time the Rams defender miss played the ball and it sailed in to the back of the net.
