After a string of fine saves by George goalie Nick Lilly, Shipley finally got on the board after Shipley’s corner was cleared and put right back into the mixer by junior defender Emlyn Thorogood, whose re-entry ball found senior captain striker Ashkon Ashrafion at the top of the six, where he dispatched the volley under the crossbar to give the Gators the lead in the 68th minute. Shipley got another quick goal as Ashkon Ashrafion played a great splitting ball through George’s back line to find senior midfielder Jack Dougherty alone on goal. Dougherty placed it in the back of the net to make it 2-0.
