When the match clock showed 45 minutes, the score became 3-1 when Patrick Cash sped through Massapequa's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Ezra Bowen. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-1.
