Chimaobi Ikwuagwu (Camden, DE/Caesar Rodney) nearly tied the game at the 73-minute mark on a shot that hit the post. The Ospreys finally broke through with just 8:17 remaining as Kourahanis fired a 20-yard shot inside the right post to knot the game at 1-1. Bobby Spracklin (Eastampton/Rancocas Valley) assisted on the tally.
 
Catholic registered the only shot of the first overtime but the attempt was wide.
