"I enjoy seeing the guys from past years, Johns said. "It means a lot to me and our present team to have such great people willing to come back and support our program. A lot of the Alumni guys have been part of some of my fondest memories of coaching the game and I enjoy seeing them and getting to talk to them to find out what is going on in their life since they have graduated"
 
Offensively for the Choctaws, six different players scored goals. Jorge Delgado, Jacob Farthing, Benaiah Preston, Dinho Zwane, Dominic Snee and Lorenzo Barraza all found the back of the net in the contest.
