C-SC’s best opportunity came in the early moments of the first overtime when Isabella Aranda drilled a shot that was blocked at the defense. In the scramble for the loose ball, Montse Caparroshad an opportunity but Grand View goalkeeper Clenka Hommel was a blessed to corral the shot.

The Pioneers jumped to an early lead in each of the first two sets to put the Wildcats back on their heels.
