Glen Shields opened the scoring and Jason Lyall evened it up for Oakville. Lyall's goal with four minutes to play in the semifinal game stood up in a 3-2 win over Scarborough Wexford Warriors. Oakville had built up a 2-0 first half lead on goals by Isaac Youssef and Lyall. Scarborough came on strong in the second half, tying the game up with just over seven minutes remaining. From that point, both teams fought hard for the go-ahead goal. Oakville finished atop its group to earn a spot in the semifinals.
