What an exciting morning of amazing competition!!  Mass Spirit and Last Call headed into the finals after tying their last regular game 1-1.  These highly competitive, very skilled teams continued their battle in the final game by alternating goals, until the final whistle blew with a score of 4-4.  Then on to PKs! 

In penalty kicks, both teams scored 3 out of 5 goals with artfully placed shots, several landing in the upper corners. Goalies, Shannon Stranzl (Mass Spirit) and Brooke Freeburg (Last Call), both made amazing saves to keep their teams alive.  The match continued on to sudden death PKs, which led to 2 alternating cross bar shots and one post.  Last Call's Brittany Schandelmayer then struck a nicely placed lower corner ball which just streaked by the diving Mass Spirit goalie.

In the 3rd verses 4th place game, Havoc faced off against Still Kicking.  Although Still Kicking's superstar goalie had to leave early, the team still liked their chances with their "Replacement Goalie" looking to avenge an earlier 0-2 loss to Havoc earlier that day.  The game started out close with great shots by both teams.  But Havoc's passing, fantastic foot skills, and well placed shots were just too much for the veteran team of Still Kicking.  Havoc prevailed with an honorable mention to their goalie who bravely blocked several of Still Kicking power shooters!

Congratulations to all teams for well played and highly competitive games. Spectators were in awe of the skill and teamwork exhibited in all of the women's games.

Women's champions - Congratulations Last Call
