Huntley's goal just 5:51 into the game made it 4-1 Los Angeles, a score that would remain until San Francisco's Bill McGlone ended the game's 24:55 scoreless drought 46 seconds into the third quarter. The two teams combined for a total of 19 goals in the second half.
Six different Dragons combined for the team's 9 goals, including a pair of tallies from midfielder Bill McGlone and attackman Xander Ritz. Midfielder Ryan Cranston had the game's only two-point marker, which brought the Dragons within two with 1:26 left in the third quarter, the closest they would get to their southern rivals.
San Francisco (3-8) will look to avenge this loss when they travel to LeBard Stadium in Southern California for the final game of the season with the Los Angeles Riptide (7-4) next Saturday, August 9 at 8 pm.
