The South/ Coastal jumped out to a 1-0 lead the first shift of the game and held that lead until the final second of the game. In the final seconds of the game the Metro added a 6th skater in Mamie Powers. As the clock was about to expired Powers knocked in a rebound just beating the buzzer to send the game to overtime. After 10 minutes of five on five overtime play the game remained tied. Double overtime was played four on four until a tripping penalty put Metro on the power play. With a four on three advantage Arlington Catholic’s Nicole Amato scored on a wrist shot top comer to win the game and the bronze medal.
