Game Notes
- Franco Acerbi has started ten of the 11 games in the net for St. Thomas and collected his eighth win.

- St. Thomas outshot Warner 11-2 in the first half.
- Mark Oghogho jumped into the game in the 30th minute to spark some offense and he rose to the challenge.
- With just 21.6 seconds remaining in the first half, Oghogho found the back of the net on a toe-touch goal passed the keeper off Bertuliet's chip into the six-yard box.
- The junior from Miami, Fla. continued the offensive attacked scoring in the first three minutes of the second half.
- Oghogho found the loose ball from Pablo Rey's shot attempt and put it in the back of the net for the Bobcats to give them some cushion and a 2-0 lead.
- The offense just continued to push and apply pressure not taking the foot of the pedal.
- Rey scored his first collegiate goal off a beautiful no look back spin pass from Oghogho that the keeper tried coming out to get but was too high to handle as it brimmed the top of the goal.

- Bode picked up the keeper save from Cacciabue's shot and struck it right back to the keeper.
