- Moments later, Stanislaus struck again in the 48th minute. After the Warriors made a long pass down field, Miller won the foot race to the right side of the box before sending a pass to Avila, who put the ball into the right side of the goal from just in front of the keeper to give the Warriors a 2-1 lead.
