The score remained tied until the 57th minute when La Verne scored making it 2-1. The Athenas came back eight minutes later and found the net. Madi Shove (FR, Portola Valley) scored a beautiful goal from a pass from Rachel Bunting. With neither team able to find the go ahead goal, the game went into overtime.
