Defender Judy Dorado’s quick feet and goalkeeper Stephanie Fox were successful in defending the Costa Mesa goal as the game ended in a 2-2 tie, sending the game into a shootout. Morgan Pautsch volunteered to defend Costa Mesa’s goal. Costa Mesa’s Beckworth, Asher and Cathey each made their shots, while Pautsch held Tustin to two goals.
