John Mounts followed up with a goal three minutes later off an assist from McArthur who then tallied himself again on a direct kick to make it 5-0 at the 20 minute mark.

In the Niagara-Orleans League, Newfane has already locked up both the boys and girls soccer championships. In earning a second straight title the boys squad is 9-0 while the girls are 10-1.
