Nolan Jones scored the next goal off a Corey Nord corner kick. Nolan has a real talent for finding the ball in the air as this was his 4th goal of the season from headers. Isenburg finished the scoring with a fantastic 1 touch out of the air from an assist by Zeiser, who made a great chip from the corner.
