GAME FLOW & NOTES
- Providence almost jumped in front in the 20th minute, as Tiago Mendonca (Faro, Portugal) settled the ball at the top of the 18-yard box and ripped a shot that was about a foot above the crossbar.
- Butler took the lead in 25th minute on a set piece. Jack Haywood played his free kick to the back post where Alex Lehtinen headed it in past Colin Miller (Bel Air, Md.).
- Providence had a chance to tie the game in the 27th minute, as Mendoca played a ball to Andualem Chisholm (Attleboro, Mass.) at the penalty mark. Chisholm attempted to finish a volley off the bounce but put his shot over the crossbar.
- Alex DaCosta (Bristol, R.I.) could not capitalize on Providence's best opportunity of the half. DaCosta had a breakaway with the Butler goalkeeper but slipped his shot just wide of the right post.
- Providence outshot Butler 9-3 in the first half.
- Chisholm netted the equalizer in the 59th minute on a through ball from Tristan Stowell (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) that Chisholm flicked over the goalie.
- Gil Santos (Parede, Portugal) gave the Friars the lead in the 76th minute on his first career goal. Brendan Constantine (Glastonbury, Conn.) played a beautiful ball to the back post where Santos headed it down past the left side of the Butler goalkeeper.
- Providence provided an insurance goal just four minutes later, as Santos notched his second of the game with an unbelievable strike from 25 yards out to the upper left corner.
