Sani Dey got the lone Mohawk goal in the 59th minute.

Mohawk finished the regular campaign with a 4-5-1 record while Redeemer was just one point ahead of them with a 4-4-2 mark.

In women's action, Keigan Curran pounced on a loose ball in the 84th minute to earn Mohawk a 1-1 draw with Redeemer. The goal cancelled out Rachel Guetter's first minute tally for the Royals.
