HOW IT HAPPENED:
- Rodrigues had a hand in each of the Hounds' goals. He put the team up 1-0 at the 43:18 mark on a kick from dead-center. Then in the second half, Rodrigues' corner kick was sent toward the net by Kevin Hernandez (San Juan, P.R. / Colegio San Jose) and redirected in by Andres Amador (Bogota, Colombia / Revere) to put the Hounds up 2-1.
- Jason Lages (Edgartown, Mass. / Martha's Vineyard) then took a long pass from Rodrigues and went one-on-one with Dolphins' goalie, Josh Mahr. Lages beat him from the left side to put the Hounds up 3-1.
- The Dolphins' lone goal came by Pablo Fernandez when his high shot went off Assumption goalie Sebastian Jimenez's (Naples, Fla. / Gulf Coast High School) hand, tying the game at one.
