The Lakers struck first in the ninth minute, catching Cedarville off guard with a swift finish that set the tone for the contest.
A little over an hour later, Roosevelt added a second goal in the 76th minute, sealing a victory that felt as much about resilience as it did about skill.

Junior goalkeeper Toby Edwards, making his first career start, turned in four crucial saves that kept the lead intact and earned praise from his teammates.
