* The host Yale Jr. Bulldogs scored four first half goals and held on for a 5-3 win over Mid-Fairfield National. Goals by Charles Blanchard and Cooper Snee staked the Bulldogs to a 2-0 lead early in the first half before Mid-Fairfield evened things with goals from Blake Burke and Luke Calabria. Blanchard added his second goal of the day, and Ethan Wolcott and recent-Cornell commit Alex Pelletier also scored for Yale. Antonio Donohue also had a goal for Mid-Fairfield.
