Sophomore Cameron Vit lofted a ball over the Seahawk defense to classmate Matt Carey, who touched a pass to Heuler on his right. Heuler dribbled into the top of the box and instead of shooting, passed off to White, who took several steps and then put a low shot to the left corner in the seventh minute.
Mitsuhashi then scored the first of his two in the 51st minute to put Hopkins up 2-0. Junior Danny Reateguidribbled along the right end line and drew several defenders before slipping a pass to Mitsuhashi on the six-yard box. He chipped the pass over Nate Ramsland for his first of the season. Just over 20 minutes later, Heuler took a hard, low shot that Ramsland just got a hand on. But the ball deflected right to Mitsuhashi, who buried it to make it 3-0 and cap the scoring.
