Not too long after, Casey Beck snuck one in the back of the net at the 27-minute mark, and the Raiders were up 3-0 at halftime. After the break nothing changed as the Blue Raiders poured on three more goals. Chris Pistrang fooled Lenoir City’s goalie on a penalty kick at 58 minutes in, Oscar Amaya (80:00) scored on a deflection, and Brandon Balmer (85:00) booted one in to conclude the scoring. In that time period the Panthers were able to come away with one goal in the 78th minute, but it wasn’t enough to cause Cleveland any worries.
