“It was a great advertisement for junior college soccer,” said Eastern Florida head coach Oliver Twelvetrees. “It was a very exciting game for the neutral fans.

“Darton is a tremendously gifted attacking team and stretched us throughout the 90 minutes. But we showed character and were clinical in front of the goal. It was fantastic for Jordan Muir to get a hat trick and for us to come out on top.”
