Flagler tied the game in the 73rd minute when Kincaid Schmidt (Palmetto, Fla./ Palmetto HS) shot from 45-yards out and knocked the ball off the goal post and into the net.

Lakers' goalkeeper Dominique Trappio had a chance to save the ball, but couldn't get a hold of it.

The Saints took the lead for good in the 80th minute when freshman Loren Cate (Apopka, Fla./ Apopka HS) scored on a pass from Lindsay Zullo (Hudson, Fla./ Hudson HS).
