Holt tallied his first goal of the year at 20:47 after a corner kick by first-year student Andrew Filewicz (Wenonah, NJ/Northeast Catholic) was played to junior Wes Bunting (Lancaster, PA/McCaskey), whose header went to Holt and on to the back of the net.

The Blue Jays (4-1-0 overall), who won their fourth straight game, had to play the final 27 minutes, 36 seconds a man down after a red card was assessed following a hard foul. Despite several excellent scoring opportunities by the Rangers (3-2-0 overall), the Elizabethtown defense held on for the victory.

Elizabethtown finished with a 9-7 advantage in shots and a 7-4 edge in corner kicks over Drew.

Junior Jeff Mullen (Horsham, PA/Hatboro-Horsham) improved to 4-0 in goal for the Blue Jays by making three saves, including a sprawling stop on Drew's Greg Zizik with 14:21 left to preserve the one-goal lead. Jeff Rogers made four saves in goal for the Rangers.
