The Mountain girls kept pace with the Whitecaps and also had numerous chances to score. The team played great positional soccer and were also scoreless at the half. The Whitecaps made a great push in the last few minutes of the first half but a great defensive play by Mountain kept them at bay. The second half was as intense as the first. The ball was moved effectively up and down the field. Emma Cunningham got a great pass from the midfield and head toward the net. She took a great shot and followed her shot to the net and scored on a rebound from the goalie. Mountain keeper, Natasha Briglio made numerous outstanding saves to keep the ball out of the net. Late in the second half Emma Cunningham received another great ball and released a tremendous ball into the corner only to be saved by a great dive by the Whitecaps keeper. Both keepers were outstanding during the game. The Whitecaps pressed late in the second half and it seemed that the Referee would never blow the whistle to end the game. The second half seemed to go on forever. The whistle finally blew and a loud cheer could be heard from the Mountain bench. This was the second time in ten days that the Whitecaps were beaten by Mountain. The Whitecaps had also been beaten by this team at the Baker Blast. The Mountain girls finished the season on a positive note. They had a very successful season, improving with every game.

The Mountain girls came out strong in the second half displaying excellent passing skills which lead to a goal by Lauren from between center and the 18 yard box. It was a hard shot which went over the goalie's head into the net. The second goal was the result of 3 or 4 great passes which started at center and ended in the net on an excellent shot by Emma. The girls played great positional soccer and were on the opponent right away which closed down many of their scoring chances. Natasha had a great game in the net holding onto the shut out.
