The Raiders were containing Cayuga until the 26 minute mark when the Red Barons scored their first goal of the game. Cayuga was able to capitalize again about five minutes later with another shot through the net. FM's Yauza Arauz was charged with a foul in the box which led to a penalty kick and FM ended the half trailing 3-0.
In the second half Cayuga started with two quick scores to set the score at 5-0. FM's Aiden VanLoan answered with a goal of his own with 40 minutes left to play and the score 5-1. FM had another chance to score off of a nice pass from VanLoan to Jack Albertin, but he wasn't able to convert the goal. Cayuga scored three more goals in the half to go up 8-1. Justin Marek scored FM's last goal of the day on a penalty kick to end the game 8-2.
FM's next contest will be Tuesday, September 6th when they host the Vikings from Hudson Valley CC. Game time is set for 4:00 p.m.
