Game Summary
good game against the defending tournament finalist montrose. dcc's passing and ball movement led to several near-goals in the first half (including two shots off the crossbar and out in the first 30 seconds), but it was montrose "long ball" over the top and lucky finishes that led them to a first-half lead. in the second half, the teams played more evenly, with dcc's possession domination finally leading to two built-up goals, both by matt alcon with assists by joe skarda, alex mackenzie, and josh beardslee. however, two long ball shots against a backup goalkeeper gave montrose their insurance goals in the second half.
