With Fairfield earning four corner kicks after only getting one in the first game, the Trojans scored three times on 13 shots on goal for the 3-2 victory. Junior Leone Gichure scored twice and Eli Moore added another while freshman Isaac Rosales dished out two assists.

Albia

Solon beat Ottumwa 2-1, but only beat the Blue Demons 2-0 while Fairfield beat Albia 7-1?! Something doesn't add up, but either way, Fairfield collected a boost of confidence with the six-goal victory that saw senior Nicholas Frisbie score three times for a hat trick, Gichure add two more to his daily total and Juan Rojo and Landen Schafer find the back of the net, as well.
