Final score: North Central (Ill.) 16 - Carthage 12
Location: Kenosha, Wisconsin - Art Keller Field
Records: North Central (Ill.) 10-2 (2-1 CCIW), Carthage 7-8 (1-3 CCIW)

Carthage took an early lead, securing the first four goals of the opening quarter.
The Firebirds' momentum continued into the second quarter, led by George Burchfield, but North Central (Ill.) responded, narrowing the score to 5-1.
Alec Gern extended Carthage's lead with a goal at 7:52, but the Cardinals countered with three goals, reducing the deficit to 7-4 by halftime.
Andrew Johnson started the third quarter with two consecutive goals, yet North Central (Ill.) answered with two of their own, reducing the margin to 11-6.
The visiting team closed the third quarter strong, scoring three goals to bring the score to 11-9 heading into the fourth.
Seizing the momentum, the Cardinals surged ahead with five goals, taking the lead 14-11.
Despite Ian Edwards' goal at 6:02, North Central (Ill.) secured the victory with a final score of 16-12.

Andrew Johnson and Frey scored three goals in the contest, while Ian Edwards and Alec Gern scored two.
Johnson recorded five assists, which was a season-best.
Sam Wallace and George Mobraaten each had three caused turnovers, with Chad Kohlmann having six ground balls.

"That was a really tough one. We played good lacrosse for forty minutes, but it was a sixty-minute game, and we were not very good down the stretch in any phase of the game. We gave up five goals in five minutes to close the third and open the fourth, and that's a big problem against good teams. We have a great group of young men, and they have been resilient and committed, which makes the results of this season even harder to accept. There is still a season left to play, and we can win against any of those teams. Have to find a way to learn, move on, and grow from this."
