Later, after a penalty in the box, Athens’ Mitch Hamilton finally found the back of the net, starting the night off 1-0, Athens – halfway through the second half.

6 minutes later, Wellsboro’s Micaiah Fitch sent the ball upfield to Noah Morey who took a shot that was deflected. Then Caden Smith barreled through for the finish, tying up the score 1-1.
