Other goals were scored by JT Theimann, (two);  Stephen Mattingly and Andrew Parker.

After halftime, the host Rams went down 2 goals to the Panthers. “It was a defensive struggle for sure,” said the Rams midfielder Moorehead.

“They are a great team. We hope we can keep the momentum going in the semi’s,” said Moorehead.

It’s been a great season for us. I look forward to college but we have to finish this first,” said Moorehead.

Coach Andy Kay was happy to get out of Dodge with a victory.

“It was hard fought. You’ve really got to credit O’Fallon. They brought their “A” game today. They’ve lost a few in a row and they’ve had some injuries.

We are glad to get out of here with a win, and get to go back to the Final 4 which is exciting,”  he said.

In state of Missouri, the Rams are 14-2, and overall, they are 14-4 playing an ambitious travel schedule.
