This is the second district title for South in three years! Connor Stencel tallied the opening goal for South before a late second half goal by DeLasalle sent the game into extra time. An outstanding team defensive effort, along with brilliant play in goal by Thomas Wacker and Bennett Smihal, kept the game tied at the end of two overtime periods. Penalty kicks by Humza Mohsin, Peter Hummer and Anthony Frasier and three key saves by Wacker secured the victory for the Blue Devils.
