Arsenal the tied the score 1-1 after an unlucky defensive deflection resulted in a long goal shot into the right corner. Regulation period ended a 1-1 tie.
The 2 10 minute Overtime Periods in the heat was a test of wills. Both teams, including coaches, gave it all they had. Both periods ended scoreless. The midfield battled all day for field control with solid play by Claire Williams, Lindsay Curlett, Rebecca Dumanski, Erika Goldhawk, Ariel Gershman and Bautista. The defensive backfield of Katie Oross, Patricia Norcross, Claire Hickel, Laura Morgan and Olivia ensured Arsenal players could not square up in front of the RAGE goal and execute a good shot.

What a weekend of RAGE soccer! We are very proud of all of these girls!
