However, the second half would be all defense with the score tied at the end of regulation, the teams would face off in the best of 5 penalty kicks to decide the winner. With goals from #6 Aaron Gomez, #22 Ryker Wade, #27 Henry Sharp, along with stellar goalie play from #21 Sammie Aguilar the Panthers would win the match to advance to the final against host team and defending champion Waynesboro Wildcats.
