Branson’s one first-half goal was all they’d need, but they added three more in the second half for good measure, on the way to a 4-0 win over Republic.
The Tigers stayed close through the early minutes of the second half, but couldn’t get the equalizer. A second Branson goal at the 30-minute mark took the air out of Republic’s sails, and a third goal at the 17-minute mark put the game away. Branson scored their fourt goal in the final minute.
