The Titans would take their 2-0 lead into halftime.
The second half again found opportunities for Strongsville as they shifted more and more players forward to try and crack through. The Titans defense including Zeleznik continued to come up big to deny until the 77′ minute. Strongsville took advantage of a Titan defensive error and capitilized late in the match.
The Titans would not relinquish the lead to earn their 3rd win of the season. This caps off a very demanding week in which the Titans played 3 games in 6 days.
