Despite only winning once in their three scheduled games,
two draws were enough to earn them a spot in the championship game. This would
be the third time the Falcons and the Celtic would face off in this tournament -
the first game called because of rain at halftime with the Falcons down 1-0, and
the second a 0-0 draw. Despite their best efforts, Samantha and her teammates
just couldn't quite get over the hump in this game, falling by a 1-0 score once
again, earning runner-up status.
