The senior’s header with about 13 minutes to play turned out to be the game-winner in a 2-1 victory over Lumberton that gave Cape Fear its second straight United 8 Conference tournament championship. For the second year in a row, the Colts beat regular-season champion Lumberton in the league tournament championship, snapping a six-year title drought.
