Halftime would see the Tigers trailing only 5-8 and right in the mix with a top ranked division and conference foe.

The fourth quarter of play was close up until the final minutes of play until injuries began to take their toll on the Tigers and the depth of Blue Ridge showed as they outscored the Tigers 5 goals to 1. It was a great game of lacrosse for all who participated and in attendance and every player left it all on the field.
