Defensive play was strong for both teams in this match. Matt Colwell came very close to scoring on a well struck volley on a corner kick, but it went just over the crossbar after Irmo kept SV on their heals during much of the first half. The score at half time was 0-0.

The second half opened with Spring Valley playing a faster pace one touch style and with more desire than they exhibited in the first half. With roughly 25 minutes remaining in the half, Spring Valley's Antoine Parris made it to the left corner where he crosses a ball into the box which was finished into the left portion of the goal.

Irmo was down, but refused to give in. Irmo stepped up play ultimately creating 10 corner kicks to Spring Valley's 1. Irmo pounded SV relentlessly during the final 20 minutes with their closest opportunity coming from a strike by Zach Acree which hit the left post and deflected away. Numerous other chances occurred in the half, but failed to find the net.

Irmo now prepares for region opponent, White Knoll, on Friday of this week.
