Luke Knowles was the lone goal scorer for the Chargers, burying the ball into the top corner off a long free kick.
With five minutes left in regulation time a collision between Chargers, Micah Crummey and Seawolves Goalkeeper, Dyal Wornell turned into a team-wide skirmish resulting in a bevy of cards being issued.
