In the 106th minute a Cannon header resulted from a corner kick by senior midfielder Sheldon Robinson (Simpsonville, S.C./Hillcrest). Lubke made her fifth save of the evening to hold PC scoreless. Three minutes later junior goalkeeper Abby Young (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park) made back-to-back saves on strikes from Radford's Ashley Johnson to seal the tie.
