The Golden Girls got aggressive in the third quarter with fullback Kelly McFetters pushing the ball upfield to forwards Reilly Cox and Bailey Scalzo. Scalzo found herself in a pinball match in front of the goal, where she finally snuck one by the goalkeeper to tie the game.

In the fourth quarter, the momentum went back and forth. Forward Jojo Stassel led the Golden Girls’ attacks, but North Irvine was able to capitalize on their home turf with a goal late in the game.
