ACPHS finally found the back of the net when Rachel Spina passed to Kayli Smith who scored at 0:10 remaining on the clock. At the end of the 1st half the Panthers held a 2-0 lead over the Bobcats.
The 2nd half of play saw incredible play by both teams.

Racic scored at 37:33 and 35:44 knotting the score at 2. The Panthers answered back at 32:33 when Kayli Smith scored.
